Tensor Products of Weakly Smooth Codes Are Robust
: We continue the study of robustly testable tensor codes and expand the class of base codes that can be used as a starting point for the construction of locally testable codes via...

Approximating Optimal Binary Decision Trees
Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....

Optimal Random Matchings on Trees and Applications
In this paper we will consider tight upper- and lower-bounds on the weight of the optimal matching for random point sets distributed among the leaves of a tree, as a function of it...

On the Query Complexity of Testing Orientations for Being Eulerian
We consider testing directed graphs for being Eulerian in the orientation model introduced in [15]. Despite the local nature of the property of being Eulerian, it turns out to be ...

Tight Bounds for Hashing Block Sources
It is known that if a 2-universal hash function H is applied to elements of a block source (X1, . . . , XT ), where each item Xi has enough min-entropy conditioned on the previous...
