We indicate strong non-approximability factors for central problems: N1/4 for Max Clique; N1/10 for Chromatic Number; and 66/65 for Max 3SAT. Underlying the Max Clique result is a...

Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandomnumber generators do not exist. This famous result is ...

Interactions among agents can be conveniently described by game trees. In order to analyze a game, it is important to derive optimal (or equilibrium) strategies for the di erent p...

We define pseudorandom generators for Yao's twoparty communication complexity model and exhibit a simple construction, based on expanders, for it. We then use a recursive com...

Recent work has shown many advantages to randomly wired expander-based networks. Unfortunately, the wiring complexity of such networks becomes physically problematic as they becom...
