We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Markov random field (MRF) models, including conditional random field models, are popular in computer vision. However, in order to be computationally tractable, they are limited to ...
We give two time- and space-efficient simulations of quantum computations with intermediate measurements, one by classical randomized computations with unbounded error and the oth...
The weak limit of the normalized number of comparisons needed by the Quicksort algorithm to sort n randomly permuted items is known to be determined implicitly by a distributional...
We combine two known polynomial time approximation algorithms for the maximum traveling salesman problem to obtain a randomized algorithm which outputs a solution with expected va...
