On the Complexity of Hardness Amplification
We study the task of transforming a hard function f, with which any small circuit disagrees on (1 - )/2 fraction of the input, into a harder function f , with which any small circ...

Bounds on the distribution of the number of gaps when circles and lines are covered by fragments: Theory and practical applicati
Background: The question of how a circle or line segment becomes covered when random arcs are marked off has arisen repeatedly in bioinformatics. The number of uncovered gaps is o...

Trade-Off Lower Bounds for Stack Machines
—A space bounded Stack Machine is a regular Turing Machine with a read-only input tape, several space bounded read-write work tapes, and an unbounded stack. Stack Machines with a...

Zero-knowledge from secure multiparty computation
A zero-knowledge proof allows a prover to convince a verifier of an assertion without revealing any further information beyond the fact that the assertion is true. Secure multipar...

On approximate halfspace range counting and relative epsilon-approximations
The paper consists of two major parts. In the first part, we re-examine relative -approximations, previously studied in [12, 13, 18, 25], and their relation to certain geometric p...
