— 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 ...
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 ...
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...
— 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...
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...
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...
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...
