We show that the NP-Complete language 3SAT has a PCP verifier that makes two queries to a proof of almost-linear size and achieves sub-constant probability of error o(1). The ver...

A merger is a probabilistic procedure which extracts the randomness out of any (arbitrarily correlated) set of random variables, as long as one of them is uniform. Our main result...

We consider the read/write streams model, an extension of the standard data stream model in which an algorithm can create and manipulate multiple read/write streams in addition to...
