The "direct product code" of a function f gives its values on all k-tuples (f(x1), . . . , f(xk)). This basic construct underlies "hardness amplification" in c...

Optimal program slicing determines for a statement S in a program whether or not S affects a specified set of statements, given that all conditionals in are interpreted as non-d...
The generalized hypertree width GHW(H) of a hypergraph H is a measure of its cyclicity. Classes of conjunctive queries or constraint satisfaction problems whose associated hypergr...
The Nearest Codeword Problem (NCP) is a basic algorithmic question in the theory of error-correcting codes. Given a point v ∈ Fn 2 and a linear space L ⊆ Fn 2 of dimension k NC...
We study an economic setting in which a principal motivates a team of strategic agents to exert costly effort toward the success of a joint project. The action taken by each agent...
