A string graph is the intersection graph of a set of curves in the plane. Each curve is represented by a vertex, and an edge between two vertices means that the corresponding curv...

The PD2 Pfair/ERfair scheduling algorithm is the most efficient known algorithm for optimally scheduling periodic tasks on multiprocessors. In this paper, we prove that PD2 is als...
Let f : {0, 1}n {0, 1} be a boolean function. For 0 let D (f) be the minimum depth of a decision tree for f that makes an error for fraction of the inputs x {0, 1}n . We also ma...
We study the degradation in network performance caused by the selfish behavior of noncooperative network users. We consider a model of selfish routing in which the latency experie...
We prove that any Resolution proof for the weak pigeon hole principle, with n holes and any number of pigeons, is of length (2n ), (for some global constant > 0).
We study the average-case hardness of the class NP against deterministic polynomial time algorithms. We prove that there exists some constant ? > 0 such that if there is some l...
A fundamental problem of distributed computing is that of simulating a secure broadcast channel, within the setting of a point-to-point network. This problem is known as Byzantine...
