The empirical curve bounding problem is de ned as follows. Suppose data vectors X Y are presented such that E(Y i]) = f(X i]) where f(x) is an unknown function. The problem is to a...
We give tight bounds on the parallel complexity of some problems involving random graphs. Speci cally, we show that a Hamiltonian cycle, a breadth rst spanning tree, and a maximal...
In dangerous and uncertain environments initial plans must be revised. Communication failures hamper this replanning. We introduce fractured subteams as a novel formalism for mode...
We consider the role of topological dimension in problems of network consensus and vehicular formations where only local feedback is available. In particular, we consider the simpl...

We propose a new class of consistency constraints for Linear Programming (LP) relaxations for finding the most probable (MAP) configuration in graphical models. Usual cluster-base...
