Exploiting Similarity for Multi-Source Downloads Using File Handprints
Many contemporary approaches for speeding up large file transfers attempt to download chunks of a data object from multiple sources. Systems such as BitTorrent quickly locate sou...

The Magic of a Number System
We introduce a new number system that supports increments with a constant number of digit changes. We also give a simple method that extends any number system supporting increments...

Extracting Randomness Using Few Independent Sources
In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...

Space Complexity vs. Query Complexity
Abstract. Combinatorial property testing deals with the following relaxation of decision problems: Given a fixed property and an input x, one wants to decide whether x satisfies th...

Two-dimensional digital filtering using constant-I/O systolic arrays
We present in this paper systolic arrays with constant number of input/output (I/O) ports for twodimensional (2-D) FIR and IIR filtering. Our design has an array of L × N proces...

PCP Characterizations of NP: Towards a Polynomially-Small Error-Probability
This paper strengthens the low-error PCP characterization of NP, coming closer to the upper limit of the BGLR conjecture. Consider the task of verifying a witness for the membersh...

A PTAS for Delay Minimization in Establishing Wireless Conference Calls
A prevailing feature of mobile telephony systems is that the location of a mobile user may be unknown. Therefore, when the system has to establish a call between users, it may nee...

Staged Self-assembly: Nanomanufacture of Arbitrary Shapes with O (1) Glues
We introduce staged self-assembly of Wang tiles, where tiles can be added dynamically in sequence and where intermediate constructions can be stored for later mixing. This model a...

A combinatorial characterization of the testable graph properties: it's all about regularity
A common thread in all the recent results concerning the testing of dense graphs is the use of Szemer?edi's regularity lemma. In this paper we show that in some sense this is...
