We provide several new results related to the concept of min-wise independence. Our main result is that any randomized sampling scheme for the relative intersection of sets based on testing equality of samples yields an equivalent min-wise independent family. Thus, in a certain sense, min-wise independent families are complete for this type of estimation. We also discuss the notion of robustness, a concept extending min-wise independence to allow more efficient use of it in practice. A surprising result arising from our consideration of robustness is that under a random permutation from a min-wise independent family, any element of a fixed set has an equal chance to get any rank in the image of the set, not only the minimum as required by definition.

The NP-hard graph bisection problem is to partition the nodes of an undirected graph into two equal-sized groups so as to minimize the number of edges that cross the partition. The more general graph l-partition problem is to partition the nodes of an undirected graph into l equal-sized groups so as to minimize the total number of edges that cross between groups.

A site in Z 2 becomes occupied with a certain probability as soon as it sees at least a threshold number of already occupied sites in its neighborhood. Such randomly growing sets have the following regularity property: a large fully occupied set exists within a xed distance (which does not increase with time) of every occupied point. This property suuces to prove convergence to an asymptotic shape.
