We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for network design with multiple commodities and economies of scale. We consider the rent-or-buy problem, a type of m...
Compressed video bitstreams require protection from channel errors in a wireless channel. The threedimensional (3-D) SPIHT coder has proved its efficiency and its real-time capabi...
Recently, a convergence proof of stochastic search algorithms toward finite size Pareto set approximations of continuous multi-objective optimization problems has been given. The...
In this work, we consider the problems of testing whether a distribution over {0, 1}n is k-wise (resp. ( , k)-wise) independent using samples drawn from that distribution. For the...

The typical difficulty of various NP-hard problems varies with simple parameters describing their structure. This behavior is largely independent of the search algorithm, but depe...
