Corruption and Recovery-Efficient Locally Decodable Codes
A (q, , )-locally decodable code (LDC) C : {0, 1}n {0, 1}m is an encoding from n-bit strings to m-bit strings such that each bit xk can be recovered with probability at least 1 2 +...

Inapproximability of Survivable Networks
In the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP) one seeks to find a minimum cost subgraph that satisfies prescribed node-connectivity requirements. We give a novel approximation r...

Deterministic 7/8-Approximation for the Metric Maximum TSP
We present the first 7/8-approximation algorithm for the maximum traveling salesman problem with triangle inequality. Our algorithm is deterministic. This improves over both the r...

Learning Random Monotone DNF
We give an algorithm that with high probability properly learns random monotone DNF with t(n) terms of length log t(n) under the uniform distribution on the Boolean cube {0, 1}n ....
