The Scaling of Search Cost
We show that a resealed constrainedness parameter provides the basis for accurate numerical models of search cost for both backtracking and local search algorithms. In the past, t...

Revisiting the TTL-based controlled flooding search: optimality and randomization
In this paper we consider the problem of searching for a node or an object (i.e., piece of data, file, etc.) in a large network. Applications of this problem include searching fo...
