Background: The problem of finding a Shortest Common Supersequence (SCS) of a set of sequences is an important problem with applications in many areas. It is a key problem in biol...
We show that any k-wise independent probability distribution on {0, 1}n O(m2.22− √ k/10)fools any boolean function computable by an m-clause DNF (or CNF) formula on n variable...
We develop a new technique of proving lower bounds for the randomized communication complexity of boolean functions in the multiparty `Number on the Forehead' model. Our meth...
While recent research on rule learning has focussed largely on finding highly accurate hypotheses, we evaluate the degree to which these hypotheses are also simple, that is small....
Abstract. We introduce a generic algorithmic technique and apply it on decision and counting versions of graph coloring. Our approach is based on the following idea: either a graph...
