Disjoint Paths in Densely Embedded Graphs
We consider the following maximum disjoint paths problem (mdpp). We are given a large network, and pairs of nodes that wish to communicate over paths through the network — the g...

Tracking the Best Disjunction
Abstract. Littlestone developed a simple deterministic on-line learning algorithm for learning k-literal disjunctions. This algorithm (called Winnow) keeps one weight for each of t...

Pseudorandom Generators, Measure Theory, and Natural Proofs
We prove that if strong pseudorandom number generators exist, then the class of languages that have polynomialsized circuits (P/poly) is not measurable within exponential time, in...

Reconstructing Strings from Substrings in Rounds
We establish a variety of combinatorial bounds on the tradeo s inherent in reconstructing strings using few rounds of a given number of substring queries per round. These results ...
