Lower bounds for distributed markov chain problems
We study the worst-case communication complexity of distributed algorithms computing a path problem based on stationary distributions of random walks in a network G with the caveat...

Testing Membership in Formal Languages Implicitly Represented by Boolean Functions
Abstract: Combinatorial property testing, initiated formally by Goldreich, Goldwasser, and Ron in [Goldreich et al. (1998)] and inspired by Rubinfeld and Sudan in [Rubinfeld and Su...

Message-Passing Algorithms for MAP Estimation Using DC Programming
We address the problem of finding the most likely assignment or MAP estimation in a Markov random field. We analyze the linear programming formulation of MAP through the lens of...

Speeding up random walks with neighborhood exploration
We consider the following marking process (rw-rand) made by a random walk on an undirected graph G. Upon arrival at a vertex v, it marks v if unmarked and otherwise it marks a ran...

Decentralized Search with Random Costs
A decentralized search algorithm is a method of routing on a random graph that uses only limited, local, information about the realization of the graph. In some random graph model...
