Better extractors for better codes?
We present an explicit construction of codes that can be list decoded from a fraction (1 - ) of errors in sub-exponential time and which have rate / logO(1) (1/). This comes close...

Boosted sampling: approximation algorithms for stochastic optimization
Several combinatorial optimization problems choose elements to minimize the total cost of constructing a feasible solution that satisfies requirements of clients. In the STEINER T...

Sorting and searching in the presence of memory faults (without redundancy)
We investigate the design of algorithms resilient to memory faults, i.e., algorithms that, despite the corruption of some memory values during their execution, are able to produce...

On sums of independent random variables with unbounded variance, and estimating the average degree in a graph
We prove the following inequality: for every positive integer n and every collection X1, . . . , Xn of nonnegative independent random variables that each has expectation 1, the pr...

A simple polynomial-time rescaling algorithm for solving linear programs
The perceptron algorithm, developed mainly in the machine learning literature, is a simple greedy method for finding a feasible solution to a linear program (alternatively, for le...
