Initializing Sensor Networks of Non-uniform Density in the Weak Sensor Model
Abstract. Assumptions about node density in the Sensor Networks literature are frequently too strong or too weak. Neither absolutely arbitrary nor uniform deployment seem feasible ...

Deterministic Communication in the Weak Sensor Model
In Sensor Networks, the lack of topology information and the availability of only one communication channel has led research work to the use of randomization to deal with collisio...

Two-Source Extractors Secure against Quantum Adversaries
We initiate the study of multi-source extractors in the quantum world. In this setting, our goal is to extract random bits from two independent weak random sources, on which two q...

The average-case complexity of counting distinct elements
We continue the study of approximating the number of distinct elements in a data stream of length n to within a (1? ) factor. It is known that if the stream may consist of arbitra...

Random knapsack in expected polynomial time
In this paper, we present the first average-case analysis proving an expected polynomial running time for an exact algorithm for the 0/1 knapsack problem. In particular, we prove,...
