We study non-stationary averaging processes, where each term of a sequence is a weighted average of previous terms, namely $a_{n+1} = \sum_{j=1}^n p_n(j) a_j$. Our results extend classical theory in two distinct regimes. First, we prove a…
Many blockchain-based algorithms, such as Bitcoin, implement a decentralized asset transfer system, often referred to as a cryptocurrency. As stated in the original paper by Nakamoto, at the heart of these systems lies the problem of…
In this paper, we investigate offline and online algorithms for rufpp, the problem of minimizing the number of rounds required to schedule a set of unsplittable flows of non-uniform sizes on a given path with non-uniform edge capacities.…
A new O(N) algorithm based on a recursion method, in which the computational effort is proportional to the number of atoms N, is presented for calculating the inverse of an overlap matrix which is needed in electronic structure calculations…
The problem of adaptively setting the timeout interval for retransmitting a packet has been discussed. A layered view of the algorithms has been presented. It is shown that a timeout algorithm consists of essentially five layers or…
The paper presents an algorithm for minimum vertex cover problem, which is an NP-Complete problem. The algorithm computes a minimum vertex cover of each input simple graph. Tested by the attached MATLAB programs, Stage 1 of the algorithm is…
The problem of determining asymptotic bounds on the capacity of a random ad hoc network is considered. Previous approaches assumed a threshold-based link layer model in which a packet transmission is successful if the SINR at the receiver…
In this paper we study randomized optimal stopping problems and consider corresponding forward and backward Monte Carlo based optimisation algorithms. In particular we prove the convergence of the proposed algorithms and derive the…
This paper addresses an Electric Vehicle Relocation Problem (E-VReP), in one-way carsharing systems, based on operators who move through folding bicycles between a delivery request and one of pickup. In order to deal with its economical…
For an arbitrary initial configuration of discrete loads over vertices of a distributed graph, we consider the problem of minimizing the {\em discrepancy} between the maximum and minimum loads among all vertices. For this problem, this…
The traditional requirement for a randomized streaming algorithm is just {\em one-shot}, i.e., algorithm should be correct (within the stated $\eps$-error bound) at the end of the stream. In this paper, we study the {\em tracking} problem,…
This paper ties the line of work on algorithms that find an O(sqrt(log(n)))-approximation to the sparsest cut together with the line of work on algorithms that run in sub-quadratic time by using only single-commodity flows. We present an…
In this paper, we consider the unconstrained submodular maximization problem. We propose the first algorithm for this problem that achieves a tight $(1/2-\varepsilon)$-approximation guarantee using $\tilde{O}(\varepsilon^{-1})$ adaptive…
Consider a team of $k \leq n$ autonomous mobile robots initially placed at a node of an arbitrary graph $G$ with $n$ nodes. The dispersion problem asks for a distributed algorithm that allows the robots to reach a configuration in which…
Consider networks on $n$ vertices at average density 1 per unit area. We seek a network that minimizes total length subject to some constraint on journey times, averaged over source-destination pairs. Suppose journey times depend on both…
In the stochastic matching problem, we are given a general (not necessarily bipartite) graph $G(V,E)$, where each edge in $E$ is realized with some constant probability $p > 0$ and the goal is to compute a bounded-degree (bounded by a…
Given real numbers whose sum is an integer, we study the problem of finding integers which match these real numbers as closely as possible, in the sense of L^p norm, while preserving the sum. We describe the structure of solutions for this…
In the Max-Cut problem in the streaming model, an algorithm is given the edges of an unknown graph $G = (V,E)$ in some fixed order, and its goal is to approximate the size of the largest cut in $G$. Improving upon an earlier result of…
In the paper, we propose solving optimization problems (OPs) and understanding the Newton method from the optimal control view. We propose a new optimization algorithm based on the optimal control problem (OCP). The algorithm features…
This paper is devoted to the quantitative homogenization of multiscale elliptic operator $-\nabla\cdot A_\varepsilon \nabla$, where $A_\varepsilon(x) = A(x/\varepsilon_1, x/\varepsilon_2,\cdots, x/\varepsilon_n)$, $\varepsilon =…
