We prove that the hit-and-run random walk is rapidly mixing for an arbitrary logconcave distribution starting from any point in the support. This extends the work of [26], where t...
We address the problems of I/O scheduling and buffer management for general reference strings in a parallel I/O system. Using the standard parallel disk model withD disks and a sh...
Many large-scale networks such as ad hoc and sensor networks, peer-to-peer networks, or the Internet have the property that the number of independent nodes does not grow arbitrari...
In this work we design a general method for proving moment inequalities for polynomials of independent random variables. Our method works for a wide range of random variables incl...
Over the last decade, a number of methods for geometric matching based on a branch-and-bound approach have been proposed. Such algorithms work by recursively subdividing transforma...
