Maintenance scheduling problems as benchmarks for constraint algorithms
The paper focuses on evaluating constraint satisfaction search algorithms on application based random problem instances. The application we use is a well-studied problem in the el...

On Optimal Heuristic Randomized Semidecision Procedures, with Application to Proof Complexity
The existence of a (p-)optimal propositional proof system is a major open question in (proof) complexity; many people conjecture that such systems do not exist. Kraj´ıˇcek and P...

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...

Confidently Cutting a Cake into Approximately Fair Pieces
We give a randomized protocol for the classic cake cutting problem that guarantees approximate proportional fairness, and with high probability uses a linear number of cuts.

Faster Construction of Planar Two-Centers
Improving on a recent breakthrough of Sharir, we find two minimum-radius circular disks covering a planar point set, in randomized expected time O(n log2 n).
