The Complexity of Polynomial-Time Approximation
In 1996, Khanna and Motwani [KM96] proposed three logic-based optimization problems constrained by planar structure, and offered the hypothesis that these putatively fundamental ...

Computing separable functions via gossip
Motivated by applications to sensor, peer-to-peer, and adhoc networks, we study the problem of computing functions of values at the nodes in a network in a totally distributed man...

A Direct Product Theorem for Discrepancy
Discrepancy is a versatile bound in communication complexity which can be used to show lower bounds in the distributional, randomized, quantum, and even unbounded error models of ...

On Using Extended Statistical Queries to Avoid Membership Queries
The Kushilevitz-Mansour (KM) algorithm is an algorithm that finds all the “large” Fourier coefficients of a Boolean function. It is the main tool for learning decision trees ...

An Embedding of the BSS Model of Computation in Light Affine Lambda-Calculus
This paper brings together two lines of research: implicit characterization of complexity classes by Linear Logic (LL) on the one hand, and computation over an arbitrary ring in t...
