On bounded occurrence constraint satisfaction
An approximation algorithm for a constraint satisfaction problem is said to be nontrivial if its performance ratio is strictly superior to the expected performance of the algorith...

Hardness vs. Randomness within Alternating Time
We study the complexity of building pseudorandom generators (PRGs) with logarithmic seed length from hard functions. We show that, starting from a function f : {0, 1}l → {0, 1} ...

Robust computation of aggregates in wireless sensor networks: distributed randomized algorithms and analysis
A wireless sensor network consists of a large number of small, resource-constrained devices and usually operates in hostile environments that are prone to link and node failures. ...

A lower bound for distributed averaging algorithms on the line graph
We derive lower bounds on the convergence speed of a widely used class of distributed averaging algorithms. In particular, we prove that any distributed averaging algorithm whose ...

Rigorous Bounds on Cryptanalytic Time/Memory Tradeoffs
In this paper we formalize a general model of cryptanalytic time/memory tradeoffs for the inversion of a random function f : {0, 1, . . . , N - 1} {0, 1, . . . , N - 1}. The model...
