Geometric Constructions with Discretized Random Variables
We generalize the DEnv (Distribution envelope determination) method for bounding the result of arithmetic operations on random variables with unknown dependence to higher-dimension...

The Space Complexity of Unbounded Timestamps
The timestamp problem captures a fundamental aspect of asynchronous distributed computing. It allows processes to label events throughout the system with timestamps that provide in...

Weak Derandomization of Weak Algorithms: Explicit Versions of Yao's Lemma
—A simple averaging argument shows that given a randomized algorithm A and a function f such that for every input x, Pr[A(x) = f(x)] ≥ 1−ρ (where the probability is over the...

Approximating Independent Set in Semi-Random Graphs
We present an algorithm for the independent set problem on semi-random graphs, which are generated as follows: An adversary chooses an n-vertex graph, and then each edge is flipp...

Timed, Distributed, Probabilistic, Typed Processes
This paper studies types and probabilistic bisimulations for a timed -calculus as an effective tool for a compositional analysis of probabilistic distributed behaviour. The types c...
