Approximating Linear Threshold Predicates
We study constraint satisfaction problems on the domain {-1, 1}, where the given constraints are homogeneous linear threshold predicates. That is, predicates of the form sgn(w1x1 +...

Uniform Derandomization from Pathetic Lower Bounds
A recurring theme in the literature on derandomization is that probabilistic algorithms can be simulated quickly by deterministic algorithms, if one can obtain impressive (i.e., s...

Monotonicity Testing and Shortest-Path Routing on the Cube
We study the problem of monotonicity testing over the hypercube. As previously observed in several works, a positive answer to a natural question about routing properties of the hy...

Maximum Flows on Disjoint Paths
We consider the question: What is the maximum flow achievable in a network if the flow must be decomposable into a collection of edgedisjoint paths? Equivalently, we wish to find a...
