—We show that the rank of a depth-3 circuit (over any field) that is simple, minimal and zero is at most O(k3 log d). The previous best rank bound known was 2O(k2 ) (log d)k−2...
This paper presents a hardware-optimized variant of the well-known Gaussian elimination over GF(2) and its highly efficient implementation. The proposed hardware architecture, we...
Edge contraction is shown to be a useful mechanism to improve lower bound heuristics for treewidth. A successful lower bound for treewidth is the degeneracy: the maximum over all ...

We first study the problem of doing Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) information theoretically secure for a general access structure. We do it in the model where private channels b...
We review the concepts of hypertree decomposition and hypertree width from a graph theoretical perspective and report on a number of recent results related to these concepts. We al...
