Directional Newton methods in n variables
Directional Newton methods for functions f of n variables are shown to converge, under standard assumptions, to a solution of f(x) = 0. The rate of convergence is quadratic, for ne...

An Optimally Fair Coin Toss
We address one of the foundational problems in cryptography: the bias of coin-flipping protocols. Coin-flipping protocols allow mutually distrustful parties to generate a common u...

Byzantine agreement in the full-information model in O(log n) rounds
We present a randomized Byzantine Agreement (BA) protocol with an expected running time of O(log n) rounds, in a synchronous full-information network of n players. For any constan...

Exactly Learning Automata with Small Cover Time
We present algorithms for exactly learning unknown environments that can be described by deterministic nite automata. The learner performs a walk on the target automaton, where at...

Quantum Expanders: Motivation and Constructions
: We define quantum expanders in a natural way. We give two constructions of quantum expanders, both based on classical expander constructions. The first construction is algebraic,...
