Inspired by Feige (36th STOC, 2004), we initiate a study of sublinear randomized algorithms for approximating average parameters of a graph. Specifically, we consider the average ...
The data migration problem is to compute an efficient plan for moving data stored on devices in a network from one configuration to another. It is modeled by a transfer graph, wher...
In this paper, we develop a new "robust mixing" framework for reasoning about adversarially modified Markov Chains (AMMC). Let P be the transition matrix of an irreducib...
Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
We consider Glauber dynamics on finite spin systems. The mixing time of Glauber dynamics can be bounded in terms of the influences of sites on each other. We consider three parame...
Given two binary linear codes R and C, their tensor product R C consists of all matrices with rows in R and columns in C. We analyze the "robustness" of the following te...
We prove that any real matrix A contains a subset of at most 4k/ + 2k log(k + 1) rows whose span "contains" a matrix of rank at most k with error only (1 + ) times the er...
