Distributed opportunistic scheduling for ad-hoc communications: an optimal stopping approach
We consider distributed opportunistic scheduling (DOS) in wireless ad-hoc networks, where many links contend for the same channel using random access. In such networks, distribute...

Expressiveness of Full First Order Constraints in the Algebra of Finite or Infinite Trees
We are interested in the expressiveness of constraints represented by general first order formulae, with equality as unique relation symbol and function symbols taken from an infi...

The Checkpoint Problem
In this paper, we consider the checkpoint problem in which given an undirected graph G, a set of sourcedestinations {(s1, t1), (s1, t1), . . . , (sk, tk)} and a set of fixed paths...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...
