Proof of the local REM conjecture for number partitioning II: growing energy scales
Christian Borgs, Jennifer Chayes, Stephan Mertens +1
We continue our analysis of the number partitioning problem with weights chosen i.i.d. from some fixed probability distribution with density . In Part I of this work, we est…

Proof of the local REM conjecture for number partitioning I: Constant energy scales
Christian Borgs, Jennifer Chayes, Stephan Mertens +1
The number partitioning problem is a classic problem of combinatorial optimization in which a set of numbers is partitioned into two subsets such that the sum of the numbers in…

Towards the distribution of the smallest matching in the Random Assignment Problem
Chandra Nair
We consider the problem of minimizing cost among one-to-one assignments of jobs onto machines. The random assignment problem refers to the case when the cost associated wit…
