It is known that bounds on the minimax values of nodes in a game tree can be used to reduce the computational complexity of minimax search for two-player games. We describe a very...
Recent years have seen a significant increase in our understanding of high-dimensional nearest neighbor search (NNS) for distances like the 1 and 2 norms. By contrast, our underst...
The model checking of higher-order recursion schemes has been actively studied and is now becoming a basis of higher-order program verification. We propose a new algorithm for tri...
A zero-knowledge proof allows a prover to convince a verifier of an assertion without revealing any further information beyond the fact that the assertion is true. Secure multipar...
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs PCPs the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on prov...
