Bounded-error quantum state identification and exponential separations in communication complexity
We consider the problem of bounded-error quantum state identification: given either state 0 or state 1, we are required to output `0', `1' or `?' ("don't ...

Fast convergence to Wardrop equilibria by adaptive sampling methods
We study rerouting policies in a dynamic round-based variant of a well known game theoretic traffic model due to Wardrop. Previous analyses (mostly in the context of selfish routi...

Hardness of approximate two-level logic minimization and PAC learning with membership queries
Producing a small DNF expression consistent with given data is a classical problem in computer science that occurs in a number of forms and has numerous applications. We consider ...

On maximizing welfare when utility functions are subadditive
We consider the problem of maximizing welfare when allocating m items to n players with subadditive utility functions. Our main result is a way of rounding any fractional solution...

On the fourier tails of bounded functions over the discrete cube
In this paper we consider bounded real-valued functions over the discrete cube, f : {-1, 1}n [-1, 1]. Such functions arise naturally in theoretical computer science, combinatorics...

The PCP theorem by gap amplification
The PCP theorem [3, 2] says that every language in NP has a witness format that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a constant number of bits from the proof. The cele...
