Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...
Abstract—We study a network model in which each network link is associated with a set of delays and costs. These costs are a function of the delays and reflect the prices paid i...
Abstract. In 1985 Fell and Diffie proposed constructing trapdoor functions with multivariate equations [11]. They used several sequentially solved stages. Another idea of building ...
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
We consider the problem of removing a given disk from a collection of unit disks in the plane. At each step, we allow a disk to be removed by a collision-free translation to infin...
