Convergence to Equilibrium in Local Interaction Games
— We study a simple game theoretic model for the spread of an innovation in a network. The diffusion of the innovation is modeled as the dynamics of a coordination game in which ...

Decomposing Coverings and the Planar Sensor Cover Problem
We show that a k-fold covering using translates of an arbitrary convex polygon can be decomposed into Omega(k) covers (using an efficient algorithm). We generalize this result to ...

Bit Encryption Is Complete
Abstract— Under CPA and CCA1 attacks, a secure bit encryption scheme can be applied bit-by-bit to construct a secure many-bit encryption scheme. The same construction fails, howe...

Planarity Allowing Few Error Vertices in Linear Time
— We show that for every fixed k, there is a linear time algorithm that decides whether or not a given graph has a vertex set X of order at most k such that G − X is planar (w...

Constraint Satisfaction Problems of Bounded Width
We provide a full characterization of applicability of The Local Consistency Checking algorithm to solving the non-uniform Constraint Satisfaction Problems. This settles the conje...

On Local Symmetries and Universality in Cellular Automata
Cellular automata (CA) are dynamical systems defined by a finite local rule but they are studied for their global dynamics. They can exhibit a wide range of complex behaviours an...

Generating Shorter Bases for Hard Random Lattices
We revisit the problem of generating a “hard” random lattice together with a basis of relatively short vectors. This problem has gained in importance lately due to new cryptogr...
