Estimating and Sampling Graphs with Multidimensional Random Walks
Estimating characteristics of large graphs via sampling is a vital part of the study of complex networks. Current sampling methods such as (independent) random vertex and random w...

The Medvedev lattice of computably closed sets
Simpson introduced the lattice P of 0 1 classes under Medvedev reducibility. Questions regarding completeness in P are related to questions about measure and randomness. We presen...

Single-Query Motion Planning with Utility-Guided Random Trees
— Randomly expanding trees are very effective in exploring high-dimensional spaces. Consequently, they are a powerful algorithmic approach to sampling-based single-query motion p...

Practical Random Number Generation in Software
There is a large gap between the theory and practice for random number generation. For example, on most operating systems, using /dev/random to generate a 256-bit AES key is highl...

Biased Random Walks
How much can an imperfect source of randomness affect an algorithm? We examine several simple questions of this type concerning the long-term behavior of a random walk on a finite...
