We consider the error due to a single bit-flip in a floating point number. We assume IEEE 754 double precision arithmetic, which encodes binary floating point numbers in a 64-bit word. We assume that the bit-flip happens randomly so it has…

Let $\mathcal P$ be a simple polygonal environment with $k$ vertices in the plane. Assume that a set $B$ of $b$ blue points and a set $R$ of $r$ red points are distributed in $\mathcal P$. We study the problem of computing triangles that…

For every positive integer $n$ and every $\delta \in [0,1]$, let $B(n, \delta)$ denote the probabilistic model in which a random set $A \subseteq \{1, \dots, n\}$ is constructed by choosing independently every element of $\{1, \dots, n\}$…

We consider the complexity of Delaunay triangulations of sets of points in R^3 under certain practical geometric constraints. The spread of a set of points is the ratio between the longest and shortest pairwise distances. We show that in…

We study integer programming instances over polytopes P(A,b)={x:Ax<=b} where the constraint matrix A is random, i.e., its entries are i.i.d. Gaussian or, more generally, its rows are i.i.d. from a spherically symmetric distribution. The…
