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 ...

The Quantitative Structure of Exponential Time
Recently Lutz [14,15] introduced a polynomial time bounded version of Lebesgue measure. He and others (see e.g. [11,13,14,15,16,17,18,20]) used this concept to investigate the quan...

Distributionally-Hard Languages
Cai and Selman [CS99] defined a modification of Levin’s notion of average polynomial time and proved, for every P-bi-immune language L and every polynomial-time computable dis...

Hardness of Approximating the Minimum Distance of a Linear Code
We show that the minimum distance of a linear code is not approximable to within any constant factor in random polynomial time (RP), unless nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) eq...

On Learning Monotone DNF under Product Distributions
We show that the class of monotone 2O( √ log n)-term DNF formulae can be PAC learned in polynomial time under the uniform distribution from random examples only. This is an expo...

On Shortest Disjoint Paths in Planar Graphs
For a graph G and a collection of vertex pairs {(s1, t1), . . . , (sk, tk)}, the k disjoint paths problem is to find k vertex-disjoint paths P1, . . . , Pk, where Pi is a path fr...

On Planar Supports for Hypergraphs
A graph G is a support for a hypergraph H = (V, S) if the vertices of G correspond to the vertices of H such that for each hyperedge Si ∈ S the subgraph of G induced by Si is co...

On polynomial-time preference elicitation with value queries
Preference elicitation — the process of asking queries to determine parties’ preferences — is a key part of many problems in electronic commerce. For example, a shopping age...
