Connecting face hitting sets in planar graphs
We show that any face hitting set of size n of a connected planar graph with a minimum degree of at least 3 is contained in a connected subgraph of size 5n − 6. Furthermore we s...

Strong direct product theorems for quantum communication and query complexity
A strong direct product theorem (SDPT) states that solving n instances of a problem requires ˝.n/ times the resources for a single instance, even to achieve success probability 2 ...

A New Upper Bound on the Average Error Exponent for Multiple-Access Channels
A new lower bound for the average probability or error for a two-user discrete memoryless (DM) multiple-access channel (MAC) is derived. This bound has a structure very similar to...

On a universal best choice algorithm for partially ordered sets
For the only known universal best choice algorithm for partially ordered sets with known cardinality and unknown order (proposed by J. Preater) we improve the estimation of the lo...

Unconditional lower bounds for learning intersections of halfspaces
We prove new lower bounds for learning intersections of halfspaces, one of the most important concept classes in computational learning theory. Our main result is that any statist...

Optimal placement of training for frequency-selective block-fading channels
The problem of placing training symbols optimally for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and single-carrier systems is considered. The channel is assumed to be quasi...

Maximum power estimation for CMOS circuits using deterministic and statistical approaches
— Excessive instantaneous power consumption may reduce the reliability and performance of VLSI chips. Hence, to synthesize circuits with high reliability, it is imperative to ef...

An Efficient Algorithm for Row Minima Computations on Basic Reconfigurable Meshes
—A matrix A of size m œ n containing items from a totally ordered universe is termed monotone if, for every i, j, 1 ‹ i < j ‹ m, the minimum value in row j lies below or to...

Parallel randomized load balancing
It is well known that after placing n balls independently and uniformly at random into n bins, the fullest bin holds (logn=log logn) balls with high probability. Recently, Azar et...

Characterizations of bipartite Steinhaus graphs
We characterize bipartite Steinhaus graphs in three ways by partitioning them into four classes and we describe the color sets for each of these classes. An interesting recursion ...
