How to Play Unique Games against a Semi-Random Adversary
In this paper, we study the average case complexity of the Unique Games problem. We propose a natural semi-random model, in which a unique game instance is generated in several st...

Using a Log-normal Failure Rate Distribution for Worst Case Bound Reliability Prediction
Prior research has suggested that the failure rates of faults follow a log normal distribution. We propose a specific model where distributions close to a log normal arise natural...

The Ant Colony Metaphor for Searching Continuous Design Spaces
This paper describes a form of dynamical computational system--4he ant colony---and presents an ant colony model for continuous space optimisation problems. The ant colony metapho...

Polynomial Linear Programming with Gaussian Belief Propagation
Abstract--Interior-point methods are state-of-the-art algorithms for solving linear programming (LP) problems with polynomial complexity. Specifically, the Karmarkar algorithm typi...
