A q query Locally Decodable Code (LDC) encodes an n-bit message x as an N-bit codeword C(x), such that one can probabilistically recover any bit xi of the message by querying only...
We present a method to evaluate path queries based on the novel concept of partial path instances. Our method (1) maximizes performance by means of sequential scans or asynchronou...
