In this paper, we develop a new "robust mixing" framework for reasoning about adversarially modified Markov Chains (AMMC). Let P be the transition matrix of an irreducib...
This paper presents a study of a distributed cooperation problem under the assumption that processors may not be able to communicate for a prolonged time. The problem for n proces...

We study the complexity of locally list-decoding binary error correcting codes with good parameters (that are polynomially related to information theoretic bounds). We show that co...
Abstract Many reliable distributed systems are consensusbased and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free synchronous periods, and a slower recovery m...
We introduce the notion of a Canonical Tester for a class of properties on distributions, that is, a tester strong and general enough that “a distribution property in the class ...
