We propose a framework for optimization problems based on particle filtering (also called Sequential Monte Carlo method). This framework unifies and provides new insight into rand...
In this paper, we explore experimentally the use of the commute time of the continuous-time quantum walk for graph drawing. For the classical random walk, the commute time has bee...
The "nearest neighbor" relation, or more generally the "k nearest neighbors" relation, defined for a set of points in a metric space, has found many uses in co...
We show that there is a constant > 0 such that, for any set P of n 5 points in general position in the plane, a crossing-free geometric graph on P that is chosen uniformly at...
We consider bit communication complexity of binary consensus in synchronous message passing systems with processes prone to crashes. A distributed algorithm is locally scalable wh...
