We describe a protocol for the average consensus problem on any fixed undirected graph whose convergence time scales linearly in the total number nodes $n$. The protocol is completely distributed, with the exception of requiring all nodes…
Distributed minimum spanning tree (MST) problem is one of the most central and fundamental problems in distributed graph algorithms. Garay et al. \cite{GKP98,KP98} devised an algorithm with running time $O(D + \sqrt{n} \cdot \log^* n)$,…
This article presents a signature-free distributed algorithm which builds an atomic read/write shared memory on top of an $n$-process asynchronous message-passing system in which up to $t<n/3$ processes may commit Byzantine failures. From a…
Lattices are an efficient and effective method to encode ambiguity of upstream systems in natural language processing tasks, for example to compactly capture multiple speech recognition hypotheses, or to represent multiple linguistic…
It has recently been shown that, contrarily to a common belief, money transfer in the presence of faulty (Byzantine) processes does not require strong agreement such as consensus. This article goes one step further: namely, it first…
We consider the message complexity of State Machine Replication protocols dealing with Byzantine failures in the partial synchrony model. A result of Dolev and Reischuk gives a quadratic lower bound for the message complexity, but it was…
Load balancing across parallel servers is an important class of congestion control problems that arises in service systems. An effective load balancer relies heavily on accurate, real-time congestion information to make routing decisions.…
This paper presents a randomized Las Vegas distributed algorithm that constructs a minimum spanning tree (MST) in weighted networks with optimal (up to polylogarithmic factors) time and message complexity. This algorithm runs in…
In this paper, we consider a robust lattice alignment design for K-user quasi-static MIMO interference channels with imperfect channel knowledge. With random Gaussian inputs, the conventional interference alignment (IA) method has the…
In this paper, we consider a network of processors aiming at cooperatively solving mixed-integer convex programs subject to uncertainty. Each node only knows a common cost function and its local uncertain constraint set. We propose a…
The longest common subsequence (LCS) is a fundamental problem in string processing which has numerous algorithmic studies, extensions, and applications. A sequence $u_1, \ldots, u_f$ of $f$ strings s said to be an ($f$-)segmentation of a…
The paper is devoted to the approximate consensus problem for networks of nonlinear agents with switching topology, noisy and delayed measurements. In contrast to the existing stochastic approximation-based control algorithms (protocols), a…
We consider the average-consensus problem in a multi-node network of finite size. Communication between nodes is modeled by a sequence of directed signals with arbitrary communication delays. Four distributed algorithms that achieve…
In the load balancing problem, each node in a network is assigned a load, and the goal is to equally distribute the loads among the nodes, by preforming local load exchanges. While load balancing was extensively studied in static networks,…
We study the problem of finding solutions to the stable matching problem that are robust to errors in the input and we obtain a polynomial time algorithm for a special class of errors. In the process, we also initiate work on a new…
Time-optimal control for high-order chain-of-integrator systems with full state constraints remains an open and challenging problem within the discipline of optimal control. The behavior of optimal control in high-order problems lacks…
Toward the large-scale, practical realization of quantum computing, quantum error correction is essential. Among various quantum error-correcting codes, the surface code stands out as a leading candidate, and lattice surgery based on…
We analyze a class of distributed quantized consen- sus algorithms for arbitrary networks. In the initial setting, each node in the network has an integer value. Nodes exchange their current estimate of the mean value in the network, and…
In this paper, we present an efficient deterministic algorithm for consensus in presence of Byzantine failures. Our algorithm achieves consensus on an $L$-bit value with communication complexity $O(nL + n^4 L^{0.5} + n^6)$ bits, in a…
To implement a linearizable shared memory in synchronous message-passing systems it is necessary to wait for a time linear to the uncertainty in the latency of the network for both read and write operations. Waiting only for one of them…
