Lower Bounds on Near Neighbor Search via Metric Expansion
In this paper we show how the complexity of performing nearest neighbor (NNS) search on a metric space is related to the expansion of the metric space. Given a metric space we loo...

The Equivalence of Sampling and Searching
In a sampling problem, we are given an input x {0, 1} n , and asked to sample approximately from a probability distribution Dx over poly (n)-bit strings. In a search problem, we ...

If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case, Then it is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

Sequence signature analysis of chromosome identity in three Drosophila species
Background: All eukaryotic organisms need to distinguish each of their chromosomes. A few protein complexes have been described that recognise entire, specific chromosomes, for in...
