This work studies decision problems from the perspective of nondeterministic distributed algorithms. For a yes-instance there must exist a proof that can be verified with a distri...
Abstract. We introduce a new general polynomial-time constructionthe fibre construction- which reduces any constraint satisfaction problem CSP(H) to the constraint satisfaction pr...
Refereed games are interactive proof systems with two competing provers: one that tries to convince the verifier to accept and another that tries to convince the verifier to rej...
We investigate methods for providing easy-to-check proofs of computational effort. Originally intended for discouraging spam, the concept has wide applicability as a method for co...
We prove that every disjoint NP-pair is polynomial-time, many-one equivalent to the canonical disjoint NP-pair of some propositional proof system. Therefore, the degree structure ...
