Geometric Restrictions on Producible Polygonal Protein Chains
Fixed-angle polygonal chains in 3D serve as an interesting model of protein backbones. Here we consider such chains produced inside a “machine” modeled crudely as a cone, and e...

An Interruptible Algorithm for Perfect Sampling via Markov Chains
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...

Self-Testing/Correcting for Polynomials and for Approximate Functions
The study of self-testing/correcting programs was introduced in [8] in order to allow one to use program P to compute function f without trusting that P works correctly. A self-te...
