Test Sets for Vertex Cover Problems (Extended Abstract)
, 1999
"... We describe the structure of the unique minimal test set T for a family of vertex cover problems. The set T corresponds to the Gröbner basis of the binomial ideal for the problem as described in [1]. While T has a surprisingly simple structure, in particular when the underlying graph is complete, it ..."

"... Abstract. Let p be a prime. A famous theorem of Lucas states that ( mp+s) ≡ np+t m) ( s) (mod p) if m, n, s, t are nonnegative integers with s, t < p. In this paper we n t aim to prove a similar result for generalized binomial coefficients defined in terms of second order recurrent sequences with ..."

Local resilience and Hamiltonicity Maker-Breaker games in random regular graphs
- Combinatorics, Probability, and Computing
"... For an increasing monotone graph property P the local resilience of a graph G with respect to P is the minimal r for which there exists of a subgraph H ⊆ G with all degrees at most r such that the removal of the edges of H from G creates a graph that does not possesses P. This notion, which was impl ..."

is at least (1−ε)d/6. We also prove that for the Binomial random graph model G(n, p), for every positive ε> 0 and large enough values of K, if p> K ln n n then with high probability the local resilience of G(n, p) with respect to being Hamiltonian is at least (1 − ε)np/6. Finally, we apply similar
Improving MPI Multicast Performance over Grid Environment using Intelligent Message Scheduling
- Proceeding of International Conference on Scientific and Engineering Computation
, 2004
"... Abstract: The multicast operation used by MPI under Grid environment can have a substantial impact on performance of parallel applications. Since the finding of an optimal multicast operation is an NP-hard problem, a near-optimal heuristic is crucial for building an efficient MPI runtime. This paper ..."

theory is that of the coin flip sequence. We flip a biased coin n times which is heads with probability p, and count the number of occurrences of heads, X. Clearly, X is binomially distributed with parameters n and p. While it is possible that X = n, it is elementary that this probability is vanishingly

The lacunary, or supersparse, representation of a polynomial
"... We present a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm which computes the multilinear factors of multivariate lacunary polynomials over number fields. It is based on a new Gap theorem which allows to test whether P(X) = ∑kj=1 ajX αj(vX+ t)β j(uX+ w)γj is identically zero in polynomial time. Previous ..."

We then used a Binomial Test to obtain the probability of sampling the observed number of tokens of the earlier construction simply by chance, before
