Characterizing Linear Size Circuits in Terms of Privacy
In this paper we prove a perhaps unexpected relationship between the complexity class of the boolean functions that have linear size circuits, and n-party private protocols. Speci...

The Linear-Array Conjecture in Communication Complexity is False
A linear array network consists of k + 1 processors P0; P1; : : : ; Pk with links only between Pi and Pi+1 0 i k. It is required to compute some boolean function f x; y in this n...

Approximability and Nonapproximability Results for Minimizing Total Flow Time on a Single Machine
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs that are released over time on a single machine in order to minimize the total ow time. This problem is well-known to be NPcomplete, a...

Minimum Cuts in Near-Linear Time
We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a "semiduality" between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree...

Computing Betti Numbers via Combinatorial Laplacians
We use the Laplacian and power method to compute Betti numbers of simplicial complexes. This has a number of advantages over other methods, both in theory and in practice. It requ...

Towards an Analysis of Local Optimization Algorithms
We introduce a variant of Aldous and Vazirani's \Go with the winners" algorithm that can be used for search graphs that are not trees. We analyze the algorithm in terms ...
