The importance of testing approaches that exploit error tolerance to improve yield has previously been established. Error rate, defined as the percentage of vectors for which the...
We begin by observing that (discrete-time) QuasiBirth-Death Processes (QBDs) are equivalent, in a precise sense, to (discrete-time) probabilistic 1-Counter Automata (p1CAs), and b...
In this work we consider a distributed system formed by a master processor and a collection of n processors (workers) that can execute tasks; worker processors are untrusted and m...

Query optimizers rely on fast, high-quality estimates of result sizes in order to select between various join plans. Selfjoin sizes of relations provide bounds on the join size of...
