We study the following problem raised by von zur Gathen and Roche [GR97]: What is the minimal degree of a nonconstant polynomial f : {0, . . . , n} → {0, . . . , m}?
We revisit the notion of a targeted canonical derandomizer, introduced in our recent ECCC Report (TR10-135) as a uniform notion of a pseudorandom generator that suffices for yield...
We report on some initial results of a brute-force search for determining the maximum correlation between degree-d polynomials modulo p and the n-bit mod q function. For various s...
The last two decades have seen enormous progress in the development of sublinear-time algorithms — i.e., algorithms that examine/reveal properties of “data” in less time tha...
The existence of optimal algorithms is not known for any decision problem in NP \ P. We consider the problem of testing the membership in the image of an injective function. We co...
