Moderately Hard Functions: From Complexity to Spam Fighting
A key idea in cryptography is using hard functions in order to obtain secure schemes. The theory of hard functions (e.g. one-way functions) has been a great success story, and the ...

The complexity of constructing pseudorandom generators from hard functions
We study the complexity of constructing pseudorandom generators (PRGs) from hard functions, focussing on constant-depth circuits. We show that, starting from a function f : {0, 1}l...

Easy and hard coalition resource game formation problems: a parameterized complexity analysis
Coalition formation is a key topic in multi–agent systems (mas). Coalitions enable agents to achieve goals that they may not have been able to achieve independently, and encoura...

Finding Lower Bounds for Nondeterministic State Complexity Is Hard
We investigate the following lower bound methods for regular languages: The fooling set technique, the extended fooling set technique, and the biclique edge cover technique. It is ...

On the Hardness and Smoothed Complexity of Quasi-Concave Minimization
In this paper, we resolve the smoothed and approximative complexity of low-rank quasi-concave minimization, providing both upper and lower bounds. As an upper bound, we provide th...
