Comparing Beliefs, Surveys, and Random Walks
Survey propagation is a powerful technique from statistical physics that has been applied to solve the 3-SAT problem both in principle and in practice. We give, using only probabi...

Optimal Direct Sum Results for Deterministic and Randomized Decision Tree Complexity
A Direct Sum Theorem holds in a model of computation, when for every problem solving some k input instances together is k times as expensive as solving one. We show that Direct Su...

On randomly colouring locally sparse graphs
We consider the problem of generating a random q-colouring of a graph G = (V, E). We consider the simple Glauber Dynamics chain. We show that if for all v V the average degree of...

A robust randomized algorithm to perform independent tasks
The Do-All problem is about scheduling t similar and independent tasks to be performed by p processors prone to crashes. We assume that the distributed system is synchronous with ...

A Note on Point Location in Delaunay Triangulations of Random Points
This short note considers the problem of point location in a Delaunay triangulation of n random points, using no additional preprocessing or storage other than a standard data stru...
