Simulating independence: new constructions of condensers, ramsey graphs, dispersers, and extractors
We present new explicit constructions of deterministic randomness extractors, dispersers and related objects. We say that a distribution X on binary strings of length n is a -sour...

Global minimum cuts in surface embedded graphs
We give a deterministic algorithm to find the minimum cut in a surface-embedded graph in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g,...

Message-passing for Graph-structured Linear Programs: Proximal Methods and Rounding Schemes
The problem of computing a maximum a posteriori (MAP) configuration is a central computational challenge associated with Markov random fields. There has been some focus on “tr...
