In this paper we formalize a general model of cryptanalytic time/memory tradeoffs for the inversion of a random function f : {0, 1, . . . , N - 1} {0, 1, . . . , N - 1}. The model...
Many lower bound computation methods for branch and bound Max-SAT solvers can be explained as procedures that search for disjoint inconsistent subformulas in the Max-SAT instance ...
For any Boolean functionf letL(f) be its formulasizecomplexityin the basis f^ 1g. For every n and every k n=2, we describe a probabilistic distribution on formulas in the basis f^...
Despite its ubiquitous presence, very little is known about the odds of winning the simple card game of Klondike Solitaire. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the use o...
We prove that the concept class of disjunctions cannot be pointwise approximated by linear combinations of any small set of arbitrary real-valued functions. That is, suppose there ...
