Constructive Proofs of Concentration Bounds
We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...

Pseudo-random graphs and bit probe schemes with one-sided error
We study probabilistic bit-probe schemes for the membership problem. Given a set A of at most n elements from the universe of size m we organize such a structure that queries of t...

The average-case complexity of counting distinct elements
We continue the study of approximating the number of distinct elements in a data stream of length n to within a (1? ) factor. It is known that if the stream may consist of arbitra...

Bounded-error quantum state identification and exponential separations in communication complexity
We consider the problem of bounded-error quantum state identification: given either state 0 or state 1, we are required to output `0', `1' or `?' ("don't ...

Self-Testing of FPGA Delay Faults in the System Environment
We propose a procedure for self-testing of an FPGA programmed to implement a user-defined function. The procedure is intended to improve the detectability of FPGA delay faults. Th...
