Optimal Parallel Construction of Hamiltonian Cycles and Spanning Trees in Random Graphs
We give tight bounds on the parallel complexity of some problems involving random graphs. Speci cally, we show that a Hamiltonian cycle, a breadth rst spanning tree, and a maximal...

How randomized search heuristics find maximum cliques in planar graphs
Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...

Quantum and Randomized Lower Bounds for Local Search on Vertex-Transitive Graphs
We study the problem of local search on a graph. Given a real-valued black-box function f on the graph's vertices, this is the problem of determining a local minimum of f--a v...

Design and Analysis of Cross-Layer Tree Algorithms for Wireless Random Access
In this paper, we develop a random access scheme which combines the widely used binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm with a cross-layer tree algorithm (TA) that relies on suc...

Random Sampling LDA for Face Recognition
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a popular feature extraction technique for face recognition. However, It often suffers from the small sample size problem when dealing with t...
