Say that f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} -approximates g : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} if the functions disagree on at most an fraction of points. This paper contains two results about approximatio...
Abstract. We provide a new characterization of certain zero-knowledge protocols as non-interactive instance-dependent commitment-schemes (NIC). To obtain this result we consider th...
We revisit the problem of memory checking considered by Blum et al. [3]. In this model, a checker monitors the behavior of a data structure residing in unreliable memory given an a...
Abstract. Various methods have been used to represent a tree on n nodes in essentially the informationtheoretic minimum space while supporting various navigational operations in co...
We study the classic problem of estimating the sum of n variables. The traditional uniform sampling approach requires a linear number of samples to provide any non-trivial guarante...
