Design and implementation of an "approximate" communication system for wireless media applications
All practical wireless communication systems are prone to errors. At the symbol level such wireless errors have a well-defined structure: when a receiver decodes a symbol erroneou...

Electrical Flows, Laplacian Systems, and Faster Approximation of Maximum Flow in Undirected Graphs
We introduce a new approach to computing an approximately maximum s-t flow in a capacitated, undirected graph. This flow is computed by solving a sequence of electrical flow probl...

Agnostic Learning of Monomials by Halfspaces Is Hard
— We prove the following strong hardness result for learning: Given a distribution on labeled examples from the hypercube such that there exists a monomial (or conjunction) consi...

Iterative approximate byzantine consensus in arbitrary directed graphs
This paper proves a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of iterative algorithms that achieve approximate Byzantine consensus in arbitrary directed graphs, where e...
