On Bounded Queries and Approximation
This paper investigates the computational complexity of approximating several NPoptimization problems using the number of queries to an NP oracle as a complexity measure. The resu...

Bounded Query Functions with Limited Output Bits
This paper explores the difference between parallel and serial queries to an NP-complete oracle, SAT, from the perspective of functions with a limited number of output bits. For ...

From query complexity to computational complexity
We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...

Worst-Case to Average-Case Reductions Revisited
Abstract. A fundamental goal of computational complexity (and foundations of cryptography) is to find a polynomial-time samplable distribution (e.g., the uniform distribution) and...

Limitations of Hardness vs. Randomness under Uniform Reductions
We consider (uniform) reductions from computing a function f to the task of distinguishing the output of some pseudorandom generator G from uniform. Impagliazzo and Wigderson [IW]...
