We consider the round complexity of a basic cryptographic task: verifiable secret sharing (VSS). This well-studied primitive provides a good "test case" for our understan...
The calculation of salient structures is one of the early and basic ideas of perceptual organization in Computer Vision. Saliency algorithms typically mark edge-points with some s...
The study of random instances of NP complete and coNP complete problems has had much impact on our understanding of the nature of hard problems. In this work, we initiate an effor...
The Target Set Selection problem proposed by Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos, gives a nice clean combinatorial formulation for many problems arising in economy, sociology, and medicin...
