Abstract. Efficient non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs are a powerful tool for solving many cryptographic problems. We apply the recent Groth-Sahai (GS) proof system for pairing...

We consider the problem of sampling URLs uniformly at random from the Web. A tool for sampling URLs uniformly can be used to estimate various properties of Web pages, such as the ...

A partial order on Z obtained by taking the transitive closure of a random relation {i < j and there is an edge ij} is studied. Randomness stems from postulating that an edge ij...
We discuss two approximation approaches, the primal-dual schema and the local-ratio technique. We present two relatively simple frameworks, one for each approach, which extend know...
Recently there has been significant progress in our understanding of the computational nature of combinatorial problems. Randomized search methods, both complete and incomplete, o...
