A stitch in time: Efficient computation of genomic DNA melting bubbles
Background: It is of biological interest to make genome-wide predictions of the locations of DNA melting bubbles using statistical mechanics models. Computationally, this poses th...

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 ...
