A Deeper Investigation of PageRank as a Function of the Damping Factor
PageRank is defined as the stationary state of a Markov chain. The chain is obtained by perturbing the transition matrix induced by a web graph with a damping factor α that spre...

Hardness of Minimizing and Learning DNF Expressions
We study the problem of finding the minimum size DNF formula for a function f : {0, 1}d → {0, 1} given its truth table. We show that unless NP ⊆ DTIME(npoly(log n) ), there i...

Derandomization of Schuler's Algorithm for SAT
Abstract. Recently Schuler [17] presented a randomized algorithm that solves SAT in expected time at most 2n(1−1/ log2(2m)) up to a polynomial factor, where n and m are, respecti...
