New Locally Decodable Codes and Private Information Retrieval Schemes
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...

If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case, Then it is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

Discovering affine equalities using random interpretation
We present a new polynomial-time randomized algorithm for discovering affine equalities involving variables in a program. The key idea of the algorithm is to execute a code fragme...

Data exchange and schema mappings in open and closed worlds
In the study of data exchange one usually assumes an openworld semantics, making it possible to extend instances of target schemas. An alternative closed-world semantics only move...

What Makes Equitable Connected Partition Easy
We study the Equitable Connected Partition problem, which is the problem of partitioning a graph into a given number of partitions, such that each partition induces a connected sub...
