Fault Tolerant Data Structures
We study the tolerance of data structures to memory faults. We observe that many pointerbased data structures (e.g., linked lists, trees, etc.) are highly nonresilient to faults. ...

Discrepancy Sets and Pseudorandom Generators for Combinatorial Rectangles
A common subproblem of DNF approximate counting and derandomizing RL is the discrepancy problem for combinatorial rectangles. We explicitly construct a poly(n)-size sample space t...

Universal Stability Results for Greedy Contention-Resolution Protocols
In this paper, we analyze the behavior of communication networks in which packets are generated dynamically at the nodes and routed in discrete time steps across the edges. We foc...
