Many current local search algorithms for SAT fall into one of two classes. Random walk algorithms such as Walksat/SKC, Novelty+ and HWSAT are very successful but can be trapped for...
Most people believe that renaming is easy: simply choose a name at random; if more than one process selects the same name, then try again. We highlight the issues that occur when t...

A simple first moment argument shows that in a randomly chosen k-SAT formula with m clauses over n boolean variables, the fraction of satisfiable clauses is 1−2−k +o(1) as m/...
We present a new class of randomized approximation algorithms for unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems with the average weighted completion time objective. The key idea i...
In the theory of algorithmic randomness, several notions of random sequence are defined via a game-theoretic approach, and the notions that received most attention are perhaps Mar...
