Derandomizing the Ahlswede-Winter matrix-valued Chernoff bound using pessimistic estimators, and applications
: Ahlswede and Winter [IEEE Trans. Inf. Th. 2002] introduced a Chernoff bound for matrix-valued random variables, which is a non-trivial generalization of the usual Chernoff bound ...

Single Source Multiroute Flows and Cuts on Uniform Capacity Networks
For an integer h 1, an elementary h-route flow is a flow along h edge disjoint paths between a source and a sink, each path carrying a unit of flow, and a single commodity h-rout...

Optimal lower bounds for the Korkine-Zolotareff parameters of a lattice and for Schnorr's algorithm for the shortest vector prob
Abstract: Schnorr's algorithm for finding an approximation for the shortest nonzero vector in an n-dimensional lattice depends on a parameter k. He proved that for a fixed k ...
