Statistical estimation of average power dissipation in CMOS VLSI circuits using nonparametric techniques
In this paper, we present a new statistical technique for estimation of average power dissipation in digital circuits. Present statistical techniques estimate the average power ba...

On the complexity of communication complexity
We consider the following question: given a two-argument boolean function f, represented as an N ? N binary matrix, how hard is to determine the (deterministic) communication comp...

Approximating the Expressive Power of Logics in Finite Models
Abstract. We present a probability logic (essentially a first order language extended with quantifiers that count the fraction of elements in a model that satisfy a first order ...

Representing (0, 1)-matrices by boolean circuits
A boolean circuit represents an n by n (0,1)-matrix A if it correctly computes the linear transformation y = Ax over GF(2) on all n unit vectors. If we only allow linear boolean f...

Algebrization: A New Barrier in Complexity Theory
Any proof of P = NP will have to overcome two barriers: relativization and natural proofs. Yet over the last decade, we have seen circuit lower bounds (for example, that PP does n...
