We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...
Algorithms that process geometric objects become more and more important for many safety-critical embedded systems, e.g. for motion planning or collision detection, where correctne...
Abstract. The study of graph vertex colorability from an algebraic perspective has introduced novel techniques and algorithms into the field. For instance, it is known that k-color...
We study a local version of the order property in several frameworks, with an emphasis on frameworks where the compactness theorem fails: (1) Inside a fixed model, (2) for classes ...
Linearizability is a key design methodology for reasoning about tations of concurrent abstract data types in both shared memory and message passing systems. It provides the illusi...
