We show that probabilistically checkable proofs can be used to shorten non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs. We obtain publicly verifiable non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs fo...
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on p...
We continue the investigation of locally testable codes, i.e., error-correcting codes for whom membership of a given word in the code can be tested probabilistically by examining ...
A low-degree test is a collection of simple, local rules for checking the proximity of an arbitrary function to a lowdegree polynomial. Each rule depends on the function’s value...
Most known constructions of probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) either blow up the proof size by a large polynomial, or have a high (though constant) query complexity. In thi...
A property tester with high probability accepts inputs satisfying a given property and rejects inputs that are far from satisfying it. A tolerant property tester, as defined by P...
An error-correcting code is said to be locally testable if it has an efficient spot-checking procedure that can distinguish codewords from strings that are far from every codeword...
