A q-query Locally Decodable Code (LDC) encodes an n-bit message x as an N-bit codeword C(x), such that one can probabilistically recover any bit xi of the message by querying only...
One of the major tasks of evolutionary biology is the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees from molecular data. The evolutionary model is given by a Markov chain on the true evolu...
Producing a small DNF expression consistent with given data is a classical problem in computer science that occurs in a number of forms and has numerous applications. We consider ...
The Write-All problem for an asynchronous shared-memory system has the objective for the processes to update the contents of a set of shared registers, while minimizing the mber o...
The main result of this paper is a near-optimal derandomization of the affine homomorphism test of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld (Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1993). We sho...
