Improved Testing Algorithms for Monotonicityotone function differs from?. on more than an . fraction of the domain). For any . > 0, the query complexity of the test is .((./.) · log ∣Σ ∣ · log ∣Ξ∣). The previous best known bound was ...We also present an alternative test for the boolean range Ξ = {0,1} whose query complexity .(../.. ) is independent of alphabet size ∣Σ∣.

Improved Bounds for Sampling Contingency Tablesg(.)). Our algorithm is based on a reduction to continuous sampling from a convex set. This is an approach which was taken by Dyer, Kannan and Mount in previous work. However, the algorithm we present is simpler, and has a greater range of applicability since the requirements on the row and column sums are weaker.

Probabilistic Construction of Small Strongly Sum-Free Sets via Large Sidon Setsa set?. from?..(.) if the sum of each pair of distinct elements of?. lies outside?.. For . ∈ ..(.) let .(.) denote the maximal cardinality of a subset of?. admissible with respect to?.. In particular we show .. The methodical innovation of the whole approach is the use of large Sidon sets.

Approximation of Multi-Color Discrepancy of 2. For the linear discrepancy version of the Beck-Fiala theorem the recursive approach also fails. Here we extend the method of floating colors to multi-colorings and prove multi-color versions of the the Beck-Fiala theorem and the Barany-Grunberg theorem.

Stochastic Machine Scheduling: Performance Guarantees for LP-Based Priority Policiesterministic scheduling. In the absence of release dates, our LP-based analysis also yields an additive performance guarantee for the WSEPT rule which implies both a worst-case performance ratio and a result on its asymptotic optimality.
