We introduce proof of spending in a block-chain system. In this system the probability for a node to create a legal block is proportional to the total amount of coins it has spent in history.

We study the problem of causal structure learning when the experimenter is limited to perform at most $k$ non-adaptive experiments of size $1$. We formulate the problem of finding the best intervention target set as an optimization problem,…

Given the proximity of many wireless users and their diversity in consuming local resources (e.g., data-plans, computation and even energy resources), device-to-device (D2D) resource sharing is a promising approach towards realizing a…

Maximum weight matching is one of the most fundamental combinatorial optimization problems with a wide range of applications in data mining and bioinformatics. Developing distributed weighted matching algorithms is challenging due to the…

This paper establishes a connection between a problem in Potential Theory and Mathematical Physics, arranging points so as to minimize an energy functional, and a problem in Combinatorics and Number Theory, constructing 'well-distributed'…

A family of protocols for quantum weak coin-flipping which asymptotically achieve a bias of 0.192 is described in this paper. The family contains protocols with n+2 messages for all n>1. The case n=2 is equivalent to the protocol of…

We show that a unitary operation (quantum circuit) secretely chosen from a finite set of unitary operations can be determined with certainty by sequentially applying only a finite amount of runs of the unknown circuit. No entanglement or…

In statistical mechanical investigations on complex networks, it is useful to employ random graphs ensembles as null models, to compare with experimental realizations. Motivated by transcription networks, we present here a simple way to…

The problem of minimization of a quadratic functional depending on great number of binary variables is examined. 3 variants of minimization procedure are studied with the aid of computer simulation for spin-glass matrices. It is shown that…

We consider parametrized linear-quadratic optimal control problems and provide their online-efficient solutions by combining greedy reduced basis methods and machine learning algorithms. To this end, we first extend the greedy control…

In this paper we show that that greedy bases can be defined as those where the error term using $m$-greedy approximant is uniformly bounded by the best $m$-term approximation with respect to polynomials with constant coefficients in the…

Kernel based regularized interpolation is a well known technique to approximate a continuous multivariate function using a set of scattered data points and the corresponding function evaluations, or data values. This method has some…

A flaw in the greedy approximation algorithm proposed by Zhang et al. for minimum connected set cover problem is corrected, and a stronger result on the approximation ratio of the modified greedy algorithm is established. The results are…

The 'minimal' payment - a payment method which minimizes the number of coins in a purse - is presented. We focus on a time series of change given back to a shopper repeating the minimal payment. The delay plot shows visually that the set of…

The contextual bandit literature has traditionally focused on algorithms that address the exploration-exploitation tradeoff. In particular, greedy algorithms that exploit current estimates without any exploration may be sub-optimal in…

In [3] it was proved that almost-greedy and semi-greedy bases are equivalent in the context of Banach spaces with finite cotype. In this paper we show this equivalence for general Banach spaces.

The paper considers trading with proportional transaction costs. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for A, the cone of claims attainable from zero endowment, to be closed, and show, in general, how to represent its closure in such…

We show that the existence of a coin-flipping protocol safe against \emph{any} non-trivial constant bias (\eg $.499$) implies the existence of one-way functions. This improves upon a recent result of Haitner and Omri [FOCS '11], who proved…

What are the prices of random variables? In this paper, we define the least-squares prices of coin-flipping games, which are proved to be minimal, positive linear, and arbitrage-free. These prices depend both on a set of games that are…

We consider redundant binary joint digital expansions of integer vectors. The redundancy is used to minimize the Hamming weight, i.e., the number of nonzero digit vectors. This leads to efficient linear combination algorithms in abelian…
