We study the implication that various timeliness and failure detector assumptions have on the performance of consensus algorithms that exploit them. We present a general framework...
We consider the (1+λ) evolution strategy, an evolutionary algorithm for minimization in Rn , using isotropic mutations. Thus, for instance, Gaussian mutations adapted by the 1/5-r...
Various new nonembeddability results (mainly into L1) are proved via Fourier analysis. In particular, it is shown that the Edit Distance on {0, 1}d has L1 distortion (log d) 1 2 â...
We consider online problems where purchases have time durations which expire regardless of whether the purchase is used or not. The Parking Permit Problem is the natural analog of...
We propose Gate Evaluation Secret Sharing (GESS) – a new kind of secret sharing, designed for use in secure function evaluation (SFE) with minimal interaction. The resulting simp...
