Martin's game: a lower bound for the number of sets
We investigate Martin's game (as described in Arruda et al. (Eds.), On Random R. E. Sets, Non-Classical Logics, Model Theory and Computability, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1977...

Satisfiability and Computing van der Waerden Numbers
In this paper we bring together the areas of combinatorics and propositional satisfiability. Many combinatorial theorems establish, often constructively, the existence of positive...

Extracting Randomness Using Few Independent Sources
In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...

Non-commutative circuits and the sum-of-squares problem
We initiate a direction for proving lower bounds on the size of non-commutative arithmetic circuits. This direction is based on a connection between lower bounds on the size of no...

Cost Bounds of Multicast Light-Trees in WDM Networks
The construction of light-trees is one principal subproblem for multicast routing in sparse splitting Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks. Due to the light splitting co...
