In this study we analyze the dynamics of the contact list evolution of millions of users of the Skype communication network. We find that egocentric networks evolve heterogeneously in time as events of edge additions and deletions of individuals are...
A cell lists method based on doubly linked lists and with complexity O(N) is developed for particle deletion and insertion in reaction ensemble Monte Carlo simulation. Because the random move in Metropolis algorithm can be reduced to particle deletio...
It seems impossible to certify that a remote hosting service does not leak its users' data --- or does quantum mechanics make it possible? We investigate if a server hosting data can information-theoretically prove its definite deletion using a "BB84...
Searchable encryption (SE) is one of the key enablers for building encrypted databases. It allows a cloud server to search over encrypted data without decryption. Dynamic SE additionally includes data addition and deletion operations to enrich the fu...
Feb 23, 2026 · Meta alignment director Summer Yue hooked OpenClaw up to her inbox. Then, the bot tried to delete her emails. Yue chalked it up to a "rookie mistake."
I have a feeling that Brendan was so sentient that he lied to V about only being an advanced algorithm so that V wouldn’t feel bad about his deletion. My one piece of evidence supporting this is tha...
This paper targets interactive object-level editing (e.g., deletion, recoloring, transformation, composition) in dynamic scenes. Recently, some methods aiming for flexible editing static scenes represented by neural radiance field (NeRF) have shown i...
We study the edge deletion process of random graphs near a k-core percolation point. We find that the time-dependent number of edges in the process exhibits critically divergent fluctuations. We first show theoretically that the k-core percolation...
The staggerer (sg/sg) mutation is a spontaneous deletion in the Rora gene that prevents the translation of the ligand-binding domain (LBD), leading to the loss of RORαactivity. The homozygous Rorasg/sg mutant mouse, whose most obvious phenotype is...
A graph is $t$-tough if the deletion of any set of, say, $m$ vertices from the graph leaves a graph with at most $\frac{m}{t}$ components. In 1973, Chvátal suggested the problem of relating toughness to factors in graphs. In 1985, Enomoto et al. sho...
A graph $G$ is minimally $t$-tough if the toughness of $G$ is $t$ and the deletion of any edge from $G$ decreases the toughness. Kriesell conjectured that for every minimally $1$-tough graph the minimum degree $δ(G)=2$. We show that in every minimal...
In this paper, we prove that with high probability, random Reed-Solomon codes approach the half-Singleton bound - the optimal rate versus error tradeoff for linear insdel codes - with linear-sized alphabets. More precisely, we prove that, for any $ε...
In secure group communications, users of a group share a common group key to prevent eavesdropping and protect the exchange content. A key server distributes the group key as well as performs group rekeying whenever the membership changes dynamically...
Dictionaries have been one of the central questions in data structures. A dictionary data structure maintains a set of key-value pairs under insertions and deletions such that given a query key, the data structure efficiently returns its value. The s...
