New Tools for Graph Coloring
How to color 3 colorable graphs with few colors is a problem of longstanding interest. The best polynomial-time algorithm uses n0.2072 colors. There are no indications that colori...

Periodicity and Cyclic Shifts via Linear Sketches
We consider the problem of identifying periodic trends in data streams. We say a signal a ∈ Rn is p-periodic if ai = ai+p for all i ∈ [n − p]. Recently, Erg¨un et al. [4] pr...

On Approximating the Number of Relevant Variables in a Function
In this work we consider the problem of approximating the number of relevant variables in a function given query access to the function. Since obtaining a multiplicative factor ap...

Streaming Algorithms with One-Sided Estimation
Abstract. We study the space complexity of randomized streaming algorithms that provide one-sided approximation guarantees; e.g., the algorithm always returns an overestimate of th...

Public Key Locally Decodable Codes with Short Keys
This work considers locally decodable codes in the computationally bounded channel model. The computationally bounded channel model, introduced by Lipton in 1994, views the channe...

A Canonical Form for Testing Boolean Function Properties
In a well-known result Goldreich and Trevisan (2003) showed that every testable graph property has a “canonical” tester in which a set of vertices is selected at random and the...
