I will demonstrate how the Cocke-Kasami-Younger (CKY) algorithm, a standard dynamic programming technique that is normally used in natural language parsing, can be adapted to give us novel insights into the protein folding problem. If we assume that...

I derive a new set of bounds on the percolation threshold of a class of continuum percolation models consisting overlapping convex hyperparticles in d-dimensional Euclidean space. The bounds converge to one another as the space dimension increases...

I present some of the very fundamental notions in game theory, with emphasis on their role in the theory of mechanism design and implementation. Examples include (1) normal-form games: Nash equilibrium and full implementation, dominant strategy...
