In distributional or average-case analysis, the goal is to design an algorithm with good-on-average performance with respect to a specific probability distribution. Distributional analysis can be useful for the study of general-purpose…

We describe a dynamic programming algorithm for computing the marginal distribution of discrete probabilistic programs. This algorithm takes a functional interpreter for an arbitrary probabilistic programming language and turns it into an…

To address the issue of excessive quantum resource requirements in Kuperberg's algorithm for the dihedral hidden subgroup problem, this paper proposes a distributed algorithm based on the function decomposition. By splitting the original…

In this paper we consider distributed optimization problems in which the cost function is separable (i.e., a sum of possibly non-smooth functions all sharing a common variable) and can be split into a strongly convex term and a convex one.…

In network function computation is as a means to reduce the required communication flow in terms of number of bits transmitted per source symbol. However, the rate region for the function computation problem in general topologies is an open…

In this paper we study the distributed average consensus problem in multi-agent systems with directed communication links that are subject to quantized information flow. Specifically, we present and analyze a distributed averaging algorithm…

In this paper we consider a novel partitioned framework for distributed optimization in peer-to-peer networks. In several important applications the agents of a network have to solve an optimization problem with two key features: (i) the…

The mixing time of a graph is an important metric, which is not only useful in analyzing connectivity and expansion properties of the network, but also serves as a key parameter in designing efficient algorithms. We introduce a new notion…

A distributed algorithm performs local computations on pieces of input and communicates the results through given communication links. When processing a massive graph in a distributed algorithm, local outputs must be configured as a…

In the real world a graph is often fragmented and distributed across different sites. This highlights the need for evaluating queries on distributed graphs. This paper proposes distributed evaluation algorithms for three classes of queries:…

We consider distributed iterative algorithms for the averaging problem over time-varying topologies. Our focus is on the convergence time of such algorithms when complete (unquantized) information is available, and on the degradation of…

This thesis is concerned with the design of distributed algorithms for solving optimization problems. We consider networks where each node has exclusive access to a cost function, and design algorithms that make all nodes cooperate to find…

This work addresses the problem of distributed computation of linearly separable functions, where a master node with access to $K$ datasets, employs $N$ servers to compute $L$ user-requested functions, each defined over the datasets.…

For a variant of the algorithm in [Pit19] (arXiv:1903.10816) to compute the approximate density or distribution function of a linear mixture of independent random variables known by a finite sample, it is presented a proof of the functional…

We present a novel task scheduling scheme for accelerating computational applications involving distributed iterative processes that are executed on networked computing resources. Such an application consists of multiple tasks, each of…

This paper studies distributed continuous-time optimization for time-varying quadratic cost functions with uncertain parameters. We first propose a centralized adaptive optimization algorithm using partial information of the cost function.…

This work concerns the analysis and design of distributed first-order optimization algorithms over time-varying graphs. The goal of such algorithms is to optimize a global function that is the average of local functions using only local…

Many science and engineering applications involve solving a linear least-squares system formed from some field measurements. In the distributed cyber-physical systems (CPS), often each sensor node used for measurement only knows partial…

The parallel and distributed processing are becoming de facto industry standard, and a large part of the current research is targeted on how to make computing scalable and distributed, dynamically, without allocating the resources on…

An algorithm for sampling exactly from the normal distribution is given. The algorithm reads some number of uniformly distributed random digits in a given base and generates an initial portion of the representation of a normal deviate in…
