Hardness vs. Randomness within Alternating Time
We study the complexity of building pseudorandom generators (PRGs) with logarithmic seed length from hard functions. We show that, starting from a function f : {0, 1}l → {0, 1} ...

Extremal properties of polynomial threshold functions
In this paper we give new extremal bounds on polynomial threshold function (PTF) representations of Boolean functions. Our results include the following: • Almost every Boolean ...

Bounded Nondeterminism and Alternation in Parameterized Complexity Theory
We give machine characterisations and logical descriptions of a number of parameterized complexity classes. The focus of our attention is the class W[P], which we characterise as ...

Inter-block Backtracking: Exploiting the Structure in Continuous CSPs
This paper details a technique, called inter-block backtracking (IBB), which improves interval solving of decomposed systems with non-linear equations over the reals. This techniqu...

Disjoint NP-Pairs
We study the question of whether the class DisjNP of disjoint pairs (A, B) of NP-sets contains a complete pair. The question relates to the question of whether optimal proof system...
