Randomization Methods in Algorithm Design: Dimacs Workshop, December 12-14, 1997

by Panos M. Pardalos (Editor)

A collection of 16 refereed papers from the December 1997 workshop held at Princeton. The volume focuses on theory and implementation aspects of algorithms involving randomization. Major topics covered include randomization techniques for linear and integer programming problems, randomization in the design of approximate algorithms for combinatorial problems, randomization in parallel and distributed algorithms, practical implementation of randomized algorithms, de-randomization issues, and pseudo-random generators. Suitable as a graduate text. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
