Discrete Random Variables over Domains
In this paper we initiate the study of discrete random variables over domains. Our work is inspired by work of Daniele Varacca, who devised indexed valuations as models of probabi...

Single-Key AIL-MACs from Any FIL-MAC
Abstract. We investigate a general paradigm for constructing arbitraryinput-length (AIL) MACs from fixed-input-length (FIL) MACs, define the waste as the relevant efficiency para...

Quantum Complexity of Testing Group Commutativity
We consider the problem of testing the commutativity of a black-box group specified by its k generators. The complexity (in terms of k) of this problem was first considered by Pa...

Logics for Unranked Trees: An Overview
Labeled unranked trees are used as a model of XML documents, and logical languages for them have been studied actively over the past several years. Such logics have different purpo...

Linear Time Algorithms for Clustering Problems in Any Dimensions
Abstract. We generalize the k-means algorithm presented by the authors [14] and show that the resulting algorithm can solve a larger class of clustering problems that satisfy certa...

Append-Only Signatures
We present a new primitive—Append-only Signatures (AOS)—with the property that any party given an AOS signature Sig[M1] on message M1 can compute Sig[M1 M2] for any message M2...

A Better Approximation Ratio for the Vertex Cover Problem
We reduce the approximation factor for Vertex Cover to 2 − Θ( 1√ log n ) (instead of the previous 2 − Θ(log log n log n ), obtained by Bar-Yehuda and Even [2], and by Moni...
