Concentration of Measure for the Analysis of Randomized Algorithms
This book presents a coherent and unified account of classical and more advanced techniques for analyzing the performance of randomized algorithms.
Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science, FSTTCS'98, held in Chennai, India, in December 1998. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 93 submissions; also included are six invited contributions. The papers deal with theoretical topics ranging from discrete mathematics and algorithmic aspects to software engineering, program semantics and mathematical logic.
Logical Methods
The twenty-six papers in this volume reflect the wide and still expanding range of Anil Nerode's work. A conference on Logical Methods was held in honor of Nerode's sixtieth birthday (4 June 1992) at the Mathematical Sciences Institute, Cornell University, 1-3 June 1992. Some of the conference papers are here, but others are from students, co-workers and other colleagues. The intention of the conference was to look forward, and to see the directions currently being pursued, in the development of work by, or with, Nerode. Here is a brief summary of the contents of this book. We give a retrospective view of Nerode's work. A number of specific areas are readily discerned: recursive equivalence ...
Randomization and Approximation Techniques in Computer Science
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Randomization and Approximation Techniques in Computer Science, RANDOM'98, held in Barcelona, Spain, in October 1998. The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the proceedings. Also included are three invited contributions. Among the topics addressed are graph computation, derandomization, pattern matching, computational geometry, approximation algorithms, search algorithms, sorting, and networking algorithms.
Grammatical Inference: Algorithms and Applications
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference, ICGI 2006. The book presents 25 revised full papers and 8 revised short papers together with 2 invited contributions, carefully reviewed and selected. The topics discussed range from theoretical results of learning algorithms to innovative applications of grammatical inference and from learning several interesting classes of formal grammars to applications to natural language processing.

Concentration of Measure for the Analysis of Randomized Algorithms
Randomized algorithms have become a central part of the algorithms curriculum, based on their increasingly widespread use in modern applications. This book presents a coherent and unified treatment of probabilistic techniques for obtaining high probability estimates on the performance of randomized algorithms. It covers the basic toolkit from the Chernoff–Hoeffding bounds to more sophisticated techniques like martingales and isoperimetric inequalities, as well as some recent developments like Talagrand's inequality, transportation cost inequalities and log-Sobolev inequalities. Along the way, variations on the basic theme are examined, such as Chernoff–Hoeffding bounds in dependent settings. The authors emphasise comparative study of the different methods, highlighting respective strengths and weaknesses in concrete example applications. The exposition is tailored to discrete settings sufficient for the analysis of algorithms, avoiding unnecessary measure-theoretic details, thus making the book accessible to computer scientists as well as probabilists and discrete mathematicians.
