We introduce a new set of probabilistic analysis tools based on the analysis of And-Or trees with random inputs. These tools provide a unifying, intuitive, and powerful framework ...

We consider the problem of constructing an erasure code for storage over a network when the data sources are distributed. Specifically, we assume that there are n storage nodes wit...

1 The Ramsey number R(G1, G2) is the smallest integer p such that for any graph G on p vertices2 either G contains G1 or G contains G2, where G denotes the complement of G. In this...
The distinguishing number ∆(X) of a graph X is the least positive integer n for which there exists a function f : V (X) → {0, 1, 2, · · · , n−1} such that no nonidentity ...
We investigate the computational complexity of a combinatorial problem that arises in DNA sequencing by hybridization: The input consists of an integer together with a set S of wo...
