Deterministic Approximation Algorithms for the Nearest Codeword Problem
The Nearest Codeword Problem (NCP) is a basic algorithmic question in the theory of error-correcting codes. Given a point v ∈ Fn 2 and a linear space L ⊆ Fn 2 of dimension k NC...

Hellinger Strikes Back: A Note on the Multi-party Information Complexity of AND
The AND problem on t bits is a promise decision problem where either at most one bit of the input is set to 1 (NO instance) or all t bits are set to 1 (YES instance). In this note...

Improved Absolute Approximation Ratios for Two-Dimensional Packing Problems
Abstract. We consider the two-dimensional bin packing and strip packing problem, where a list of rectangles has to be packed into a minimal number of rectangular bins or a strip of...

Small Clique Detection and Approximate Nash Equilibria
Recently, Hazan and Krauthgamer showed [12] that if, for a fixed small ε, an ε-best ε-approximate Nash equilibrium can be found in polynomial time in two-player games, then it ...

On the Security of Goldreich's One-Way Function
Goldreich (ECCC 2000) suggested a simple construction of a candidate one-way function f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1}m where each bit of output is a fixed predicate P of a constant number ...

Minimizing Average Shortest Path Distances via Shortcut Edge Addition
We consider adding k shortcut edges (i.e. edges of small fixed length δ ≥ 0) to a graph so as to minimize the weighted average shortest path distance over all pairs of vertices...
