Randomized search heuristics, among them randomized local search and evolutionary algorithms, are applied to problems whose structure is not well understood, as well as to problems...
We describe a new technique that can be used to derandomize a number of randomized algorithms for routing and sorting on meshes. We demonstrate the power of this technique by deri...
Parallel independent disks can enhance the performance of external memory (EM) algorithms, but the programming task is often di cult. In this paper we develop randomized variants ...
There is a growing body of work on sorting and selection in models other than the unit-cost comparison model. This work treats a natural stochastic variant of the problem where the...
In 1998, Impagliazzo and Wigderson [IW98] proved a hardness vs. randomness tradeoff for BPP in the uniform setting, which was subsequently extended to give optimal tradeoffs for t...
