On the Complexity of Approximating the VC Dimension
We study the complexity of approximating the VC dimension of a collection of sets, when the sets are encoded succinctly by a small circuit. We show that this problem is • Σp 3-...

In Search of an Easy Witness: Exponential Time vs. Probabilistic Polynomial Time
Restricting the search space {0, 1}n to the set of truth tables of “easy” Boolean functions on log n variables, as well as using some known hardness-randomness tradeoffs, we ...

Simple Analysis of Graph Tests for Linearity and PCP
We give a simple analysis of the PCP with low amortized query complexity of Samorodnitsky and Trevisan [16]. The analysis also applies to the linearity testing over finite field...

Bounded Query Functions with Limited Output Bits
This paper explores the difference between parallel and serial queries to an NP-complete oracle, SAT, from the perspective of functions with a limited number of output bits. For ...

Communication Complexity Lower Bounds by Polynomials
The quantum version of communication complexity allows the two communicating parties to exchange qubits and/or to make use of prior entanglement (shared EPRpairs). Some lower boun...

Quantum Algorithms for Element Distinctness
We present several applications of quantum amplitude amplification to finding claws and collisions in ordered or unordered functions. Our algorithms generalize those of Brassard...

Hausdorff Dimension in Exponential Time
In this paper we investigate effective versions of Hausdorff dimension which have been recently introduced by Lutz. We focus on dimension in the class E of sets computable in line...
