The shifting sands algorithm
We resolve the problem of small-space approximate selection in random-order streams. Specifically, we present an algorithm that reads the n elements of a set in random order and ...

A tight lower bound for parity in noisy communication networks
We show a tight lower bound of (N log log N) on the number of transmission required to compute the parity of N bits (with constant error) in a network of N randomly placed sensors...

Tight Bounds for the Cover Time of Multiple Random Walks
We study the cover time of multiple random walks. Given a graph G of n vertices, assume that k independent random walks start from the same vertex. The parameter of interest is the...

A Multi-Round Communication Lower Bound for Gap Hamming and Some Consequences
—The Gap-Hamming-Distance problem arose in the context of proving space lower bounds for a number of key problems in the data stream model. In this problem, Alice and Bob have to...

Lower bounds for number-in-hand multiparty communication complexity, made easy
In this paper we prove lower bounds on randomized multiparty communication complexity, both in the blackboard model (where each message is written on a blackboard for all players ...
