Local Search problem, which finds a local minimum of a black-box function on a given graph, is of both practical and theoretical importance to combinatorial optimization, complexi...
Abstract—We study the performance of several search algorithms on unstructured peer-to-peer networks, both using classic search algorithms such as flooding and random walk, as w...
This paper exploits the properties of the commute time for the purposes of graph matching. Our starting point is the random walk on the graph, which is determined by the heat-kern...
Let G = (V, E) be an undirected loopless graph with possible parallel edges and s, t V . Assume that s is labelled at the initial time step and that every labelled vertex copies i...
We present randomized constructions of linear-time encodable and decodable codes that can transmit over lossy channels at rates extremely close to capacity. The encoding and decod...
