A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a problem to find an assignment that satisfies given constraints. An interesting approach to CSP is a repair-based method that first gen...
We consider the deterministic and the randomized decision tree complexities for Boolean functions, denoted DC(f) and RC(f), respectively. A major open problem is how small RC(f) ca...
We study the communication complexity of rumor spreading in the random phone-call model. Suppose n players communicate in parallel rounds, where in each round every player calls a...
— Given an arbitrary network of interconnected nodes, each with an initial value from a discrete set, we consider the problem of distributively disseminating these initial values...
Trust learning is a crucial aspect of information exchange, negotiation, and any other kind of social interaction among autonomous agents in open systems. But most current probabil...
