Deterministic Restrictions in Circuit Complexity
We study the complexity of computing Boolean functions using AND, OR and NOT gates. We show that a circuit of depth d with S gates can be made to output a constant by setting O(S1...

The Space Complexity of Approximating the Frequency Moments
The frequency moments of a sequence containing mi elements of type i, for 1 i n, are the numbers Fk = n i=1 mk i . We consider the space complexity of randomized algorithms that...

A parallel repetition theorem
We show that a parallel repetition of any two-prover one-round proof system (MIP(2, 1)) decreases the probability of error at an exponential rate. No constructive bound was previou...

Characterizing Linear Size Circuits in Terms of Privacy
In this paper we prove a perhaps unexpected relationship between the complexity class of the boolean functions that have linear size circuits, and n-party private protocols. Speci...

Approximability and Nonapproximability Results for Minimizing Total Flow Time on a Single Machine
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs that are released over time on a single machine in order to minimize the total ow time. This problem is well-known to be NPcomplete, a...
