Hall ratio of the Mycielski graphs
Let n(G) denote the number of vertices of a graph G and let (G) be the independence number of G, the maximum number of pairwise nonadjacent vertices of G. The Hall ratio of a grap...

Probabilistic Checking of Proofs; A New Characterization of NP
We give a new characterization of NP: the class NP contains exactly those languages L for which membership proofs (a proof that an input x is in L) can be verified probabilisticall...

Testing k-wise and almost k-wise independence
In this work, we consider the problems of testing whether a distribution over {0, 1}n is k-wise (resp. ( , k)-wise) independent using samples drawn from that distribution. For the...

Fixed-Parameter Algorithms for Cochromatic Number and Disjoint Rectangle Stabbing
Given a permutation π of {1, . . . , n} and a positive integer k, we give an algorithm with running time 2O(k2 log k) nO(1) that decides whether π can be partitioned into at mos...
