Encores on Cores
We give a new derivation of the threshold of appearance of the k-core of a random graph. Our method uses a hybrid model obtained from a simple model of random graphs based on rand...

Almost-Natural Proofs
Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandom number generators do not exist. This famous result is...

Vertex Cover Approximations on Random Graphs
Abstract. The vertex cover problem is a classical NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is 2− o(1). In this paper, we use a collection of simple g...

Incremental Sampling-based Algorithms for Optimal Motion Planning
During the last decade, incremental sampling-based motion planning algorithms, such as the Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRTs), have been shown to work well in practice and to po...

Domain Extension of Public Random Functions: Beyond the Birthday Barrier
A public random function is a random function that is accessible by all parties, including the adversary. For example, a (public) random oracle is a public random function {0, 1}â...
