Analytic Machines

In this paper the $R$-machines defined by Blum, Shub and Smale
are generalized by allowing infinite convergent computations.
The description of real numbers is infinite.
Therefore, considering arithmetic operations on real numbers should
also imply infinite computations on {\em analytic machines}.
We prove that $\R$-computable functions are $\Q$-analytic.
We show ... more >>>

Stable basis families and complexity lower bounds

--
Scalar product estimates have so far been used in
proving several unweighted threshold lower bounds.
We show that if a basis set of Boolean functions satisfies
certain weak stability conditions, then
scalar product estimates
yield lower bounds for the size of weighted thresholds
of these basis functions.

FIFO is Unstable at Arbitrarily Low Rates

Revisions: 1

In this work, we study the stability of the {\sf FIFO} ({\sf
First-In-First-Out}) protocol in the context of Adversarial
Queueing Theory. As an important intermediate step, we consider
{\em dynamic capacities}, where each network link capacity may
arbitrarily take on values in the two-valued set of integers
$\{1,C\}$ for $C>1$ ... more >>>

Are stable instances easy?

We introduce the notion of a stable instance for a discrete
optimization problem, and argue that in many practical situations
only sufficiently stable instances are of interest. The question
then arises whether stable instances of NP--hard problems are
easier to solve. In particular, whether there exist algorithms
that solve correctly ... more >>>
