Free Bits, PCPs and Non-Approximability - Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs PCPs the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on prov...

Increasing the Output Length of Zero-Error Dispersers
Let C be a class of probability distributions over a finite set . A function D : {0, 1}m is a disperser for C with entropy threshold k and error if for any distribution X in C s...

Hardness Amplification via Space-Efficient Direct Products
We prove a version of the derandomized Direct Product lemma for deterministic space-bounded algorithms. Suppose a Boolean function g : {0, 1}n {0, 1} cannot be computed on more th...

The Power of Uncertainty: Bundle-Pricing for Unit-Demand Customers
We study an extension of the unit-demand pricing problem in which the seller may offer bundles of items. If a customer buys such a bundle she is guaranteed to get one item out of i...

A Geometric Approach to Lower Bounds for Approximate Near-Neighbor Search and Partial Match
This work investigates a geometric approach to proving cell probe lower bounds for data structure problems. We consider the approximate nearest neighbor search problem on the Bool...
