Zigzag persistent homology and real-valued functions
We study the problem of computing zigzag persistence of a sequence of homology groups and study a particular sequence derived from the levelsets of a real-valued function on a top...

Lower Bounds for Noisy Wireless Networks using Sampling Algorithms
We show a tight lower bound of Ω(N log log N) on the number of transmissions required to compute several functions (including the parity function and the majority function) in a...
