Complexity of Unification in Free Groups and Free Semi-groups
The exponent of periodicity is an important factor in estimates of complexity of word-unification algorithms. We prove that the exponent of periodicity of a minimal solution of a w...

Uniform Memory Hierarchies
We present several e cient algorithms for sorting on the uniform memory hierarchy UMH, introduced by Alpern, Carter, and Feig, and its parallelization P-UMH. We give optimal and ne...

Simple Constructions of Almost k-Wise Independent Random Variables
We present three alternative simple constructions of small probability spaces on n bits for which any k bits are almost independent. The number of bits used to specify a point in ...

Polylogarithmic Independence Can Fool DNF Formulas
We show that any k-wise independent probability distribution on {0, 1}n O(m2.22− √ k/10)fools any boolean function computable by an m-clause DNF (or CNF) formula on n variable...
