Discrepancy Sets and Pseudorandom Generators for Combinatorial Rectangles
A common subproblem of DNF approximate counting and derandomizing RL is the discrepancy problem for combinatorial rectangles. We explicitly construct a poly(n)-size sample space t...

Approximate Counting by Sampling the Backtrack-free Search Space
We present a new estimator for counting the number of solutions of a Boolean satisfiability problem as a part of an importance sampling framework. The estimator uses the recently...

Sampling Binary Contingency Tables
We study the problem of counting and randomly sampling binary contingency tables. For given row and column sums, we are interested in approximately counting (or sampling) 0/1 n

Approximate Solution Sampling (and Counting) on AND/OR Spaces
In this paper, we describe a new algorithm for sampling solutions from a uniform distribution over the solutions of a constraint network. Our new algorithm improves upon the Sampli...
