Abstract. In this paper we investigate methods for analyzing the expected value of adding information in distributed task scheduling problems. As scheduling problems are NP-complet...
The NP machine hypothesis posits the existence of an ǫ > 0 and a nondeterministic polynomial-time Turing machine M which accepts the language 0∗ but for which no determinist...
We give an improved explicit construction of highly unbalanced bipartite expander graphs with expansion arbitrarily close to the degree (which is polylogarithmic in the number of ...

The regularity lemma of Szemer´edi gives a concise approximate description of a graph via a so called regular-partition of its vertex set. In this paper we address the following ...
We prove that the concept class of disjunctions cannot be pointwise approximated by linear combinations of any small set of arbitrary real-valued functions. That is, suppose there ...
