Simulated Annealing for Graph Bisection
We resolve in the a rmative a question of Boppana and Bui: whether simulated annealing can, with high probability and in polynomial time, nd the optimal bisection of a random grap...

Dynamic Word Problems
Let M be a fixed finite monoid. We consider the problem of implementing a data type containing a vector x ϭ ( x1, x2, . . . , xn) ʦ Mn , initially (1, 1, . . . , 1), with two kin...

A Tight Lower Bound for k-Set Agreement
: Weprove tight bounds on the time needed to solve k-set agreement, a natural generalization of consensus. We analyze this problem in a synchronous, message-passing model where pro...

Throughput-Competitive On-Line Routing
We develop a framework that allows us to address the issues of admission control and routing in high-speed networks under the restriction that once a call is admitted and routed, ...
