A new algebraic technique for the construction of interactive proof systems is presented. Our technique is used to prove that every language in the polynomial-time hierarchy has an...

The exponent of periodicity is an important factor in estimates of complexity of word-unification algorithms. We prove that the exponent of periodicity of a minimal solution of a w...
We show a sharp dichotomy between systems of identical automata with a symmetric global control whose behavior is easy to predict, and those whose behavior is hard to predict. The...

Two of the most commonly used models in computational learning theory are the distribution-free model in which examples are chosen from a fixed but arbitrary distribution, and the ...
