The Swendsen-Wang Process Does Not Always Mix Rapidly
The Swendsen-Wang process provides one possible dynamics for the Qstate Potts model in statistical physics. Computer simulations of this process are widely used to estimate the ex...

Large deviations perspective on ordinal optimization of heavy-tailed systems
We consider the problem of selecting the best among several heavy-tailed systems using a large deviations perspective. In contrast to the light-tailed setting studied by Glynn and...

Refinement verification of the lazy caching algorithm
The lazy caching algorithm of Afek, Brown, and Merrit (1993) is a protocol that allows the use of local caches with delayed updates. It results in a memory model that is not atomi...

A Per-Class QoS Service Model in IEEE 802.11e WLANs
Abstract -- In this paper, we study the provision of perclass QoS for IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) WLANs. We propose two mechanisms, called BIWF-SP and I...
