In recent work Long and Servedio [LS05] presented a “martingale boosting” algorithm that works by constructing a branching program over weak classifiers and has a simple anal...
The freedom and transparency of information flow on the Internet has heightened concerns of privacy. Given a set of data items, clustering algorithms group similar items together...
We give a practical and provably good Monte Carlo algorithm for approximating center points. Let P be a set of n points in IRd . A point c ∈ IRd is a β-center point of P if eve...

Abstract. In this paper we propose an energy-efficient broadcast algorithm for wireless networks for the case where the transmission powers of the nodes are fixed. Our algorithm is...

Graph H is a root of graph G if there exists a positive integer k such that x and y are adjacent in G if and only if their distance in H is at most k. Motwani and Sudan [1994] prov...
