The main result of this paper is a near-optimal derandomization of the affine homomorphism test of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld (Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1993). We sho...
Motivated by questions in property testing, we search for linear error-correcting codes that have the “single local orbit” property: i.e., they are specified by a single loca...
Non-malleability is an interesting and useful property which ensures that a cryptographic protocol preserves the independence of the underlying values: given for example an encryp...

Given a set S = {s1, s2, . . . , sn} of strings each of length m, and an integer L, we study the following two problems. k-Closest Substring problem: find k center strings c1, c2,...
Graph-reduction specifications (GRSs) are a powerful new method for specifying classes of pointer data structures (shapes). They cover important shapes, like various forms of bal...
