Infeasibility of Instance Compression and Succinct PCPs for NP
The OR-SAT problem asks, given Boolean formulae φ1, . . . , φm each of size at most n, whether at least one of the φi’s is satisfiable. We show that there is no reduction fr...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...

Testing Halfspaces
This paper addresses the problem of testing whether a Boolean-valued function f is a halfspace, i.e. a function of the form f(x) = sgn(w·x−θ). We consider halfspaces over the ...

Testing Hereditary Properties of Non-Expanding Bounded-Degree Graphs
We study graph properties which are testable for bounded degree graphs in time independent of the input size. Our goal is to distinguish between graphs having a predetermined grap...

Pseudorandom generators without the XOR Lemma
Impagliazzo and Wigderson IW97] have recently shown that if there exists a decision problem solvable in time 2O(n) and having circuit complexity 2 (n) (for all but nitely many n) ...
