On Strategy Improvement Algorithms for Simple Stochastic Games
The study of simple stochastic games (SSGs) was initiated by Condon for analyzing the computational power of randomized space-bounded alternating Turing machines. The game is play...

On Approximate Majority and Probabilistic Time
We prove new results on the circuit complexity of Approximate Majority, which is the problem of computing Majority of a given bit string whose fraction of 1's is bounded away...

Bounding Probability of Small Deviation: A Fourth Moment Approach
In this paper we study the problem of bounding the value of the probability distribution function of a random variable X at E[X] + a where a is a small quantity in comparison with...

Computing minimum cuts by randomized search heuristics
We study the minimum s-t-cut problem in graphs with costs on the edges in the context of evolutionary algorithms. Minimum cut problems belong to the class of basic network optimiz...

On the Communication Complexity of Read-Once AC^0 Formulae
Abstract--We study the 2-party randomized communication complexity of read-once AC0 formulae. For balanced AND-OR trees T with n inputs and depth d, we show that the communication ...
