Constructive Proofs of Concentration Bounds
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 ...

Constrained Decompositions of Integer Matrices and their Applications to Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
We consider combinatorial optimization problems arising in radiation therapy. Given a matrix I with non-negative integer entries, we seek for a decomposition of I as a weighted su...

Price based protocols for fair resource allocation: convergence time analysis and extension to Leontief utilities
We analyze several distributed, continuous time protocols for a fair allocation of bandwidths to flows in a network (or resources to agents). Our protocols converge to an allocati...

Confidence Intervals for the Area Under the ROC Curve
In many applications, good ranking is a highly desirable performance for a classifier. The criterion commonly used to measure the ranking quality of a classification algorithm is ...

Fast and robust retrieval of Minkowski sums of rotating convex polyhedra in 3-space
We present a novel method for fast retrieval of exact Minkowski sums of pairs of convex polytopes in R3 , where one of the polytopes keeps rotating. The algorithm is based on pre-...
