We study algorithms for approximation of the mild solution of stochastic heat equations on the spatial domain ]0, 1[ d . The error of an algorithm is defined in L2-sense. We derive...

If Alice has x, y, Bob has x, z and Carol has y, z can they determine if x + y + z = N? They can if (say) Alice broadcasts x to Bob and Carol; can they do better? Chandra, Furst, a...
