The index function problem is defined as follows. Alice has a string x distributed uniformly over {0, 1}n. Bob has an index i distributed uniformly over [n]. The goal for Bob is to guess xi when only one round of communication is allowed, i.e., Alice can send only one message to Bob. The naive protocol for this problem is that Alice sends all her bits to Bob. Then the message length is n. Our g...

In order to further understand the algorithm, we can think of its connection to clustering. Say you have K clusters such that most of the edges are inside the clusters. If we run Karger’s Algorithm, at the time we have K super-nodes, we can consider them as the clusters. Note that since there are a few edges between the clusters, the algorithm is more likely to contract intra cluster edges (as ...

Linear Programming deals with the problem of optimizing a linear objective function subject to linear equality and inequality constraints on the decision variables. Linear programming has many practical applications (in transportation, production planning, ...). It is also the building block for combinatorial optimization. One aspect of linear programming which is often forgotten is the fact th...

1 Semidefinite programming Let Sn×n be the set of n by n real symmetric matrices. Definition 1 A ∈ Sn×n is called positive semidefinite, denoted A 0, if xAx ≥ 0 for any x ∈ R. There are several well-known equivalent ways to state positive semidefiniteness. Proposition 1 The following are equivalent: (i) A is positive semidefinite. (ii) Every eigenvalue of A is nonnegative. (iii) There is a matr...

This book provides a truly multidisciplinary approach to a very common and difficult clinical presentation hyperventilation syndrome. Many COCA members will know Leon Chiatow’s work. He is a senior lecturer at the University of Westminster and is respected writer, lecturer and osteopathic practitioner. Dinah Bradley is a registered respiratory physiotherapist, and wrote the first patient handbo...

, .. Abstract. This paper describes a system for the animation of algorithms on an electronic chalkboard. The instructor teaching an algorithm can enter data directly through a drawingthe algorithm then makes use of this data, for exampIe numbers, or the image of a graph. The drawing becomes alive. The result is a more natural way of teaching and starting algorithmic animations. The paper also ...

The number of internet-ready mobile devices is steadily increasing. Today these devices are particularly well accepted among young people who build the main part of the audience in universitary courses. Using smart devices offers a great possibility to increase student-teacher interactions. In this paper, we present an e-learning tool called nuKIT (networked university KIT) which provides inter...
