How to Play Unique Games against a Semi-Random Adversary
In this paper, we study the average case complexity of the Unique Games problem. We propose a natural semi-random model, in which a unique game instance is generated in several st...

Exposure-Resilient Extractors and the Derandomization of Probabilistic Sublinear Time
There exists a positive constant < 1 such that for any function T(n) n and for any problem L BPTIME(T(n)), there exists a deterministic algorithm running in poly(T(n)) time w...

Regular graphs whose subgraphs tend to be acyclic
Motivated by a problem that arises in the study of mirrored storage systems, we describe, for any fixed , > 0 and any integer d 2, explicit or randomized constructions of d-r...

Satisfying Test Preconditions through Guided Object Selection
—A random testing strategy can be effective at finding faults, but may leave some routines entirely untested if it never gets to call them on objects satisfying their preconditi...
