Abstract. We introduce a new general polynomial-time constructionthe fibre construction- which reduces any constraint satisfaction problem CSP(H) to the constraint satisfaction pr...
Refereed games are interactive proof systems with two competing provers: one that tries to convince the verifier to accept and another that tries to convince the verifier to rej...
We investigate methods for providing easy-to-check proofs of computational effort. Originally intended for discouraging spam, the concept has wide applicability as a method for co...
We prove that every disjoint NP-pair is polynomial-time, many-one equivalent to the canonical disjoint NP-pair of some propositional proof system. Therefore, the degree structure ...
We study the power of quantum proofs, or more precisely, the power of Quantum MerlinArthur (QMA) protocols, in two well studied models of quantum computation: the black box model ...
