We reprove that the approximate degree of the OR function on n bits is ( n). We consider a linear program which is feasible if and only if there is an approximate polynomial for ...
Abstract. We propose a novel method for action detection based on a new action descriptor called a shape flow that represents both the shape and movement of an object in a holistic...
We present an analysis to automatically determine if a program represents a continuous function, or equivalently, if infinitesimal changes to its inputs can only cause infinitesim...
We first consider so-called (1,+s)-branching programs in which along every consistent path at most s variables are tested more than once. We prove that any such program computing...
In these notes, we give an overview of the join calculus, its semantics, and its equational theory. The join calculus is a language that models distributed and mobile programming. ...
