Load-Balanced Parallel Merge Sort on Distributed Memory Parallel Computers
Sort can be speeded up on parallel computers by dividing and computing data individually in parallel. Merge sort can be parallelized, however, the conventional algorithm implement...

Learning a Hidden Matching
We consider the problem of learning a matching (i.e., a graph in which all vertices have degree 0 or 1) in a model where the only allowed operation is to query whether a set of ve...

On the complexity of sets of free lines and line segments among balls in three dimensions
We present two new fundamental lower bounds on the worst-case combinatorial complexity of sets of free lines and sets of maximal free line segments in the presence of balls in thr...

Improving the first selection lemma in R3
We present new bounds on the first selection lemma in R3 . This makes progress on the open problems of Bukh, Matoušek and Nivash [6] and Boros-Füredi [4] for the three-dimensio...

New Bounds in Secret-Key Agreement: The Gap between Formation and Secrecy Extraction
Perfectly secret message transmission can be realized with only partially secret and weakly correlated information shared by the parties as soon as this information allows for the ...

Performing work with asynchronous processors: message-delay-sensitive bounds
This paper considers the problem of performing tasks in asynchronous distributed settings. This problem, called DoAll, has been substantially studied in synchronous models, but th...

Derandomization of Schuler's Algorithm for SAT
Abstract. Recently Schuler [17] presented a randomized algorithm that solves SAT in expected time at most 2n(1−1/ log2(2m)) up to a polynomial factor, where n and m are, respecti...

An Experimental Study of Random Knapsack Problems
The size of the Pareto curve for the bicriteria version of the knapsack problem is polynomial on average. This has been shown for various random input distributions. We experimenta...

On locally Delaunay geometric graphs
A geometric graph is a simple graph G = (V, E) with an embedding of the set V in the plane such that the points that represent V are in general position. A geometric graph is said...
