Low-degree polynomial approximations to the sign function underlie pseudorandom generators for halfspaces, as well as algorithms for agnostically learning halfspaces. We study the...

Let G = G(n, m) be a random graph whose average degree d = 2m/n is below the k-colorability threshold. If we sample a k-coloring σ of G uniformly at random, what can we say about...

Given an undirected graph G = (VG, EG) and a fixed pattern graph H = (VH , EH ) with k vertices, we consider the H-Transversal and H-Packing problems. The former asks to find th...
