Proof Verification and Hardness of Approximation Problems
The class PCP(f(n), g(n)) consists of all languages L for which there exists a polynomial-time probabilistic oracle machine that uses O(f(n)) random bits, queries O(g(n)) bits of ...

Reconstructing Algebraic Functions from Mixed Data
We consider a variant of the traditional task of explicitly reconstructing algebraic functions from black box representations. In the traditional setting for such problems, one is ...

Maximizing Non-Linear Concave Functions in Fixed Dimension
Consider a convex set P in IRd and a piecewise polynomial concave function F: P IR. Let A be an algorithm that given a point x IRd computes F(x) if x P, or returns a concave po...

Quadratic Dynamical Systems (Preliminary Version)
The main purpose of this paper is to promote the study of computational aspects, primarily the convergence rate, of nonlinear dynamical systems from a combinatorial perspective. W...

Computing in Solvable Matrix Groups
We announce methods for e cient management of solvable matrix groups over nite elds. We show that solvability and nilpotence can be tested in polynomial-time. Such e ciency seems ...

On the Fault Tolerance of Some Popular Bounded-Degree Networks
In this paper, we analyze the fault tolerance of several bounded-degree networks that are commonly used for parallel computation. Among other things, we show that an N-node butterf...

Efficient Inference of Partial Types
Partial types for the -calculus were introduced by Thatte in 1988 [3] as a means of typing objects that are not typable with simple types, such as heterogeneous lists and persiste...

Fault-tolerant Wait-free Shared Objects
Wait-free implementations of shared objects tolerate the failure of processes, but not the failure of base objects from which they are implemented. We consider the problem of imple...
