The main result of this paper is a near-optimal derandomization of the affine homomorphism test of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld (Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1993). We sho...
—A simple averaging argument shows that given a randomized algorithm A and a function f such that for every input x, Pr[A(x) = f(x)] ≥ 1−ρ (where the probability is over the...

lem of inferring termination from such abstract information is not the halting problem for programs and may well be decidable. If this is the case, the decision algorithm forms a &...
Clancey (1992) proposed the model-construction framework as a way to explain the reasoning of knowledge-based systems (KBSs), based on his realization that all KBSs construct impl...
