We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...
Consider a two-party quantum communication protocol for computing some function f : {0, 1}n × {0, 1}n → Z. We show that the first message of P can be compressed to O(k) classi...
We introduce two new complexity measures for Boolean functions, which we name sumPI and maxPI. The quantity sumPI has been emerging through a line of research on quantum query com...
Many web-based systems have a tiered application architecture, in which a request needs to transverse all the tiers before finishing its processing. One of the most important QoS...
Abstract. We study the interval subset sum problem (ISSP), a generalization of the classic subset-sum problem, where given a set of intervals, the goal is to choose a set of intege...
