Abstract. Given a graph G and a nonnegative integer k, the NP-complete Induced Matching problem asks for an edge subset M such that M is a matching and no two edges of M are joined...
Important generalizations of the Vertex Cover problem (Connected Vertex Cover, Capacitated Vertex Cover, and Maximum Partial Vertex Cover) have been intensively studied in terms of...
The present paper deals with the averagecase complexity of various algorithms for learning univariate polynomials. For this purpose an appropriate framework is introduced. Based o...
We study the complexity of computing Boolean functions using AND, OR and NOT gates. We show that a circuit of depth d with S gates can be made to output a constant by setting O(S1...
Every Boolean function on n variables can be expressed as a unique multivariate polynomial modulo p for every prime p. In this work, we study how the degree of a function in one c...
