Given a k-uniform hypergraph, the Ek-Vertex-Cover problem is to find the smallest subset of vertices that intersects every hyperedge. We present a new multilayered PCP constructi...
We consider a single-source network design problem from a game-theoretic perspective. Gupta, Kumar and Roughgarden (Proc. 35th Annual ACM STOC, pages 365–372, 2003) developed a ...
In combinatorial optimization, a popular approach to NP-hard problems is the design of approximation algorithms. These algorithms typically run in polynomial time and are guarante...
At the heart of many recent lattice-based cryptographic schemes is a polynomial-time algorithm that, given a `high-quality' basis, generates a lattice point according to a Ga...
We consider the problem of constructing a general protocol for secure two-party computation in a way that preserves security under concurrent composition. In our treatment, we foc...
