Improved non-approximability results
We indicate strong non-approximability factors for central problems: N1/4 for Max Clique; N1/10 for Chromatic Number; and 66/65 for Max 3SAT. Underlying the Max Clique result is a...

Natural proofs
Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandomnumber generators do not exist. This famous result is ...

A spectral technique for coloring random 3-colorable graphs (preliminary version)
Let G(3n, p, 3) be a random 3-colorable graph on a set of 3n vertices generated as follows. First, split the vertices arbitrarily into three equal color classes and then choose ev...

A coding theorem for distributed computation
Shannon's Coding Theorem shows that in order to reliably transmit a message of T bits over a noisy communication channel, only a constant slowdown factor is necessary in the ...

Fast algorithms for finding randomized strategies in game trees
Interactions among agents can be conveniently described by game trees. In order to analyze a game, it is important to derive optimal (or equilibrium) strategies for the di erent p...
