Local list decoding with a constant number of queries
Efremenko showed locally-decodable codes of sub-exponential length that can handle close to 1 6 fraction of errors. In this paper we show that the same codes can be locally unique...

Managing Stochastic, Finite Capacity, Multi-Project Systems through the Cross-Entropy Methodology
This paper addresses the problem of loading a finite capacity, stochastic (random) and dynamic multi-project system. The system is controlled by keeping a constant number of projec...

Combinatorial Construction of Locally Testable Codes
An error correcting code is said to be locally testable if there is a test that checks whether a given string is a codeword, or rather far from the code, by reading only a constan...

Approximate Capacity of Gaussian Relay Networks
We present an achievable rate for general Gaussian relay networks. We show that the achievable rate is within a constant number of bits from the information-theoretic cut-set uppe...

Rapid Almost-Complete Broadcasting in Faulty Networks
This paper studies the problem of broadcasting in synchronous point-to-point networks, where one initiator owns a piece of information that has to be transmitted to all other verti...

Local PTAS for Independent Set and Vertex Cover in Location Aware Unit Disk Graphs
We present the first local approximation schemes for maximum independent set and minimum vertex cover in unit disk graphs. In the graph model we assume that each node knows its geo...

Copeland voting: ties matter
We study the complexity of manipulation for a family of election systems derived from Copeland voting via introducing a parameter that describes how ties in head-to-head contests...
