Preprocessing Chains for Fast Dihedral Rotations Is Hard or Even Impossible
We examine a computational geometric problem concerning the structure of polymers. We model a polymer as a polygonal chain in three dimensions. Each edge splits the polymer into t...

On the (Im)possibility of Non-interactive Correlation Distillation
We study the problem of non-interactive correlation distillation (NICD). Suppose Alice and Bob each has a string, denoted by A = a0a1 · · · an−1 and B = b0b1 · · · bn−1,...

Possibility and Impossibility Results in a Shared Memory Environment
We focus on unreliable asynchronous shared memory model which support only atomic read and write operations. For such a model we provide a necessary condition for the solvability ...

The Impossibility of Boosting Distributed Service Resilience
We prove two theorems saying that no distributed system in which processes coordinate using reliable registers and -resilient services can solve the consensus problem in the prese...
