Byzantine agreement in the full-information model in O(log n) rounds
We present a randomized Byzantine Agreement (BA) protocol with an expected running time of O(log n) rounds, in a synchronous full-information network of n players. For any constan...

A quasi-PTAS for unsplittable flow on line graphs
We study the Unsplittable Flow Problem (UFP) on a line graph, focusing on the long-standing open question of whether the problem is APX-hard. We describe a deterministic quasi-pol...

Approximate nearest neighbors and the fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform
We introduce a new low-distortion embedding of d 2 into O(log n) p (p = 1, 2), called the Fast-Johnson-LindenstraussTransform. The FJLT is faster than standard random projections ...

On basing one-way functions on NP-hardness
We consider the possibility of basing one-way functions on NP-Hardness; that is, we study possible reductions from a worst-case decision problem to the task of average-case invert...
