Rates of convergence for Quicksort
The normalized number of key comparisons needed to sort a list of randomly permuted items by the Quicksort algorithm is known to converge in distribution. We identify the rate of ...

Inapproximability Results for Maximum Edge Biclique, Minimum Linear Arrangement, and Sparsest Cut
We consider the Minimum Linear Arrangement problem and the (Uniform) Sparsest Cut problem. So far, these two notorious NP-hard graph problems have resisted all attempts to prove in...

Comparison of dynamical states of random networks with human EEG
Existing models of EEG have mainly focused on relations to network dynamics characterized by firing rates [L. de Arcangelis, H.J. Herrmann, C. Perrone-Capano, Activity-dependent ...

Bounds on the distribution of the number of gaps when circles and lines are covered by fragments: Theory and practical applicati
Background: The question of how a circle or line segment becomes covered when random arcs are marked off has arisen repeatedly in bioinformatics. The number of uncovered gaps is o...
