We continue the study of amplification of average-case complexity within NP, and we focus on the uniform case. We prove that if every problem in NP admits an efficient uniform alg...

Cortical amplification is a mechanism for modifying the selectivity of neurons through recurrent interactions. Although conventionally used to enhance selectivity, cortical amplif...

We revisit the problem of hardness amplification in NP, as recently studied by O'Donnell (STOC `02). We prove that if NP has a balanced function f such that any circuit of si...

We consider the problem of amplifying uniform average-case hardness of languages in NP, where hardness is with respect to BPP algorithms. We introduce the notion of monotone error...
