A Tight Characterization of NP with 3 Query PCPs
It is known that there exists a PCP characterization of NP where the verifier makes 3 queries and has a onesided error that is bounded away from 1; and also that 2 queries do not ...

Exponential Separations between Restricted Resolution and Cutting Planes Proof Systems
We prove an exponential lower bound for tree-like Cutting Planes refutations of a set of clauses which has polynomial size resolution refutations. This implies an exponential sepa...

Unsatisfiable Systems of Equations, Over a Finite Field
The properties of any system of k simultaneous equations in n variables over GF(q), are studied, with a particular emphasis on unsatisfiable systems. A general formula for the num...

A Linguistic Characterization of Bounded Oracle Computation and Probabilistic Polynomial Time
We present a higher-order functional notation for polynomial-time computation with arbitrary 0; 1-valued oracle. This provides a linguistic characterization for classes such as np...
