Extractors and condensers from univariate polynomials
We give new constructions of randomness extractors and lossless condensers that are optimal to within constant factors in both the seed length and the output length. For extractor...

Finding a Heaviest Triangle is not Harder than Matrix Multiplication
We show that for any > 0, a maximum-weight triangle in an undirected graph with n vertices and real weights assigned to vertices can be found in time O(n + n2+), where is the ...

Comparing Reductions to NP-Complete Sets
Under the assumption that NP does not have p-measure 0, we investigate reductions to NP-complete sets and prove the following: (1) Adaptive reductions are more powerful than nonad...

Derandomizing the AW matrix-valued Chernoff bound using pessimistic estimators and applications
Ahlswede and Winter [AW02] introduced a Chernoff bound for matrix-valued random variables, which is a non-trivial generalization of the usual Chernoff bound for real-valued random...
