PageRank is defined as the stationary state of a Markov chain obtained by perturbing the transition matrix of a web graph with a damping factor that spreads part of the rank. The...
Linear systems whose coefficients have large uncertainties arise routinely in finite element calculations for structures with uncertain geometry, material properties, or loads. Ho...
Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

We consider the problem of counting a set of discrete point targets using a network of sensors under a minimalistic model. Each sensor outputs a single integer, the number of disti...
We consider the following question: given a two-argument boolean function f, represented as an N ? N binary matrix, how hard is to determine the (deterministic) communication comp...
