Separating Quantum and Classical Learning
We consider a model of learning Boolean functions from quantum membership queries. This model was studied in [26], where it was shown that any class of Boolean functions which is i...

On the Approximability of Average Completion Time Scheduling under Precedence Constraints
Abstract. We consider the scheduling problem of minimizing the average weighted job completion time on a single machine under precedence constraints. We show that this problem with...

Minimal Tail-Biting Trellises for Certain Cyclic Block Codes Are Easy to Construct
We give simple algorithms for the construction of generator matrices for minimal tail-biting trellises for a powerful and practical subclass of the linear cyclic codes, from which ...

Combinatorics of Periods in Strings
We consider the set Gn of all period sets of strings of length n over a finite alphabet. We show that there is redundancy in period sets and introduce the notion of an irreducibl...

Quantum Complexities of Ordered Searching, Sorting, and Element Distinctness
We consider the quantum complexities of the following three problems: searching an ordered list, sorting an un-ordered list, and deciding whether the numbers in a list are all dis...
