Deterministic random walks on the integers
Jim Propp’s P-machine, also known as the ‘rotor router model’ is a simple deterministic process that simulates a random walk on a graph. Instead of distributing chips to ran...

Load balancing and orientability thresholds for random hypergraphs
Let h > w > 0 be two fixed integers. Let H be a random hypergraph whose hyperedges are uniformly of size h. To w-orient a hyperedge, we assign exactly w of its vertices posi...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...

A Scalable Low Discrepancy Point Generator for Parallel Computing
The Monte Carlo (MC) method is a simple but effective way to perform simulations involving complicated or multivariate functions. The QuasiMonte Carlo (QMC) method is similar but...

Order and entropy in picture passwords
Previous efforts involving picture-based passwords have not focused on maintaining a measurably high level of entropy. Since password systems usually allow user selection of passw...
