We give an explicit construction of an -biased set over k bits of size O k 2 log(1/ ) 5/4 . This improves upon previous explicit constructions when is roughly (ignoring logarith
Abstract. We argue for the benefits of relations over functions for modelling programs, and even more so for modelling specifications. To support this argument, we present an ext...
We investigate the following question: if a polynomial can be evaluated at rational points by a polynomial-time boolean algorithm, does it have a polynomial-size arithmetic circuit...
This is an extended version of an essay with the same title that I wrote for the workshop Algebraic Process Calculi: The First Twenty Five Years and Beyond, held in Bertinoro, Ita...
We study polynomials of degree up to 4 over the rationals or a computable real subfield. Our motivation comes from the need to evaluate predicates in nonlinear computational geome...
