New Bounds on the Average Distance from the Fermat-Weber Center of a Planar Convex Body
The Fermat-Weber center of a planar body Q is a point in the plane from which the average distance to the points in Q is minimal. We first show that for any convex body Q in the ...

On Constructing Locally Computable Extractors and Cryptosystems in the Bounded Storage Model
We consider the problem of constructing randomness extractors that are locally computable; that is, read only a small number of bits from their input. As recently shown by Lu (thi...
