The fault span of crash failures
A crashing network protocol is an asynchronous protocol whose memory does not survive crashes. We show that a crashing network protocol that works over unreliable links can be driv...

Periodification scheme: constructing sorting networks with constant period
We consider comparator networks M that are used repeatedly: while the output produced by M is not sorted, it is fed again into M. Sorting algorithms working in this way are called ...

Parallel RAMs with owned global memory and deterministic context-free language recognition
We identify and study a natural and frequently occurring subclass of Concurrent Read, Exclusive Write Parallel Random Access Machines (CREW-PRAMs). Called Concurrent Read, Owner Wr...

A minimum spanning tree algorithm with Inverse-Ackermann type complexity
A deterministic algorithm for computing a minimum spanning tree of a connected graph is presented. Its running time is O(m (m, n)), where is the classical functional inverse of Ack...

The soft heap: an approximate priority queue with optimal error rate
A simple variant of a priority queue, called a soft heap, is introduced. The data structure supports the usual operations: insert, delete, meld, and findmin. Its novelty is to beat...

A subdivision-based algorithm for the sparse resultant
Multivariate resultants generalize the Sylvester resultant of two polynomials and characterize the solvability of a polynomial system. They also reduce the computation of all comm...
