An Experimental Study of Random Knapsack Problems
The size of the Pareto curve for the bicriteria version of the knapsack problem is polynomial on average. This has been shown for various random input distributions. We experimenta...

Randomized path coloring on binary trees
Motivated by the problem of WDM routing in all–optical networks, we study the following NP–hard problem. We are given a directed binary tree T and a set R of directed paths on ...

Extracting Randomness Using Few Independent Sources
In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...

The complexity of the outer face in arrangements of random segments
We investigate the complexity of the outer face in arrangements of line segments of a fixed length in the plane, drawn uniformly at random within a square. We derive upper bounds ...

Consensus in correlated random topologies: Weights for finite time horizon
We consider the weight design problem for the consensus algorithm under a finite time horizon. We assume that the underlying network is random where the links fail at each iterat...
