Routing Information Protocol in HOL/SPIN
We provide a proof using HOL and SPIN of convergence for the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), an internet protocol based on distance vector routing. We also calculate a sharp re...

Hardness Amplification in Proof Complexity
We present a generic method for converting any family of unsatisfiable CNF formulas that require large resolution rank into CNF formulas whose refutation requires large rank for p...

Constructive Proofs of Concentration Bounds
We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...

Measuring Visual Threshold of Inkjet Banding
Banding can be a major defect in inkjet printing. Knowing the visual sensitivity threshold of inkjet banding is therefore useful for understanding and pushing the technological li...
