Total path length, or search cost, for a rooted tree is defined as the sum of all root-to-node distances. Let Tn be the total path length for a random recursive tree of order n. M...
A constant rebalanced portfolio is an investment strategy that keeps the same distribution of wealth among a set of stocks from day to day. There has been much work on Cover'...
We study the online problem of holding a number of idle threads on an application server, which we have ready for processing new requests. The problem stems from the fact that bot...
Recently there has been significant progress in our understanding of the computational nature of combinatorial problems. Randomized search methods, both complete and incomplete, o...
: We derandomize results of H?astad (1999) and Feige and Kilian (1998) and show that for all > 0, approximating MAX CLIQUE and CHROMATIC NUMBER to within n1are NP-hard. We furt...
