Fast Algorithms for Logconcave Functions: Sampling, Rounding, Integration and Optimization
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...

Improving Parallel-Disk Buffer Management using Randomized Writeback
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...

On the locality of bounded growth
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...

Concentration and moment inequalities for polynomials of independent random variables
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...

A Comparison of Search Strategies for Geometric Branch and Bound Algorithms
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...
