In the Connected Dominating Set problem we are given as input a graph G and a positive integer k, and are asked if there is a set S of at most k vertices of G such that S is a dom...
In this paper, we study an adaptive random search method based on continuous action-set learning automaton for solving stochastic optimization problems in which only the noisecorr...
Linear matrix Inequalities (LMIs) have had a major impact on control but formulating a problem as an LMI is an art. Recently there is the beginnings of a theory of which problems ...
We revisit the problem of constructing efficient secure two-party protocols for the problems of setintersection and set-union, focusing on the model of malicious parties. Our main...
We show that computing the lexicographically first four-coloring for planar graphs is p 2hard. This result optimally improves upon a result of Khuller and Vazirani who prove this ...
