Simulating independence: new constructions of condensers, ramsey graphs, dispersers, and extractors
We present new explicit constructions of deterministic randomness extractors, dispersers and related objects. We say that a distribution X on binary strings of length n is a -sour...

Competitive Group Testing and Learning Hidden Vertex Covers with Minimum Adaptivity
Suppose that we are given a set of n elements d of which are “defective”. A group test can check for any subset, called a pool, whether it contains a defective. It is well know...

Fractional Pebbling and Thrifty Branching Programs
We study the branching program complexity of the tree evaluation problem, introduced in [BCM+09a] as a candidate for separating NL from LogCFL. The input to the problem is a roote...

Localized construction of bounded degree and planar spanner for wireless ad hoc networks
We propose a novel localized algorithm that constructs a bounded degree and planar spanner for wireless ad hoc networks modeled by unit disk graph (UDG). Every node only has to kn...
