Abstract. In the 2nd Annual FOCS (1961), Chao-Kong Chow proved that every Boolean threshold function is uniquely determined by its degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. These...
We give the first optimal algorithm for estimating the number of distinct elements in a data stream, closing a long line of theoretical research on this problem begun by Flajolet...
Increasing efforts have been aimed towards the management of power as a critical system resource, and the disk can consume approximately a third of the power required for a typica...
We present a novel method for inferring three-dimensional shape from a collection of defocused images. It is based on the observation that defocused images are the null-space of ce...
Interpretation interpretation is a theory of effective abstraction and/or approximation of discrete mathematical structures as found in the semantics of programming languages, mod...
