Let A be the incidence matrix of a set system with m sets and n points, m ≤ n, and let t = tr M, where M = AT A. Finally, let σ = tr M2 be the sum of squares of the elements of ...
Abstract— We prove that given a nearly log-concave distribution, in any partition of the space to two well separated sets, the measure of the points that do not belong to these s...
In this paper, we propose a new lower approximation scheme for POMDP with discounted and average cost criterion. The approximating functions are determined by their values at a fi...
Abstract. Data mining algorithms such as the Apriori method for finding frequent sets in sparse binary data can be used for efficient computation of a large number of summaries fr...
We consider the problem of cheating in secret sharing schemes, cheating in which individuals submit forged shares in the secret reconstruction phase in an effort to make another pa...
