Nearly optimal sparse fourier transform
We consider the problem of computing the k-sparse approximation to the discrete Fourier transform of an ndimensional signal. We show: • An O(k log n)-time randomized algorithm f...

From irreducible representations to locally decodable codes
Locally Decodable Code (LDC) is a code that encodes a message in a way that one can decode any particular symbol of the message by reading only a constant number of locations, eve...

Subspace evasive sets
In this work we describe an explicit, simple, construction of large subsets of Fn , where F is a finite field, that have small intersection with every k-dimensional affine subsp...

Time-space tradeoffs in resolution: superpolynomial lower bounds for superlinear space
We give the first time-space tradeoff lower bounds for Resolution proofs that apply to superlinear space. In particular, we show that there are formulas of size N that have Reso...

An analysis of one-dimensional schelling segregation
We analyze the Schelling model of segregation in which a society of n individuals live in a ring. Each individual is one of two races and is only satisfied with his location so l...

Reachability under Contextual Locking
Abstract. The pairwise reachability problem for a multi-threaded program asks, given control locations in two threads, whether they can be simultaneously reached in an execution of...
