Submissions claiming to resolve a grand challenge, such as the P vs. NP problem, may be rejected without further consideration.
Submissions containing an essential part that seems to be generated by AI tools and/or are written in a way that humans will find hard to understand, may be rejected regardless of their merits. ECCC is intended for communication among humans.
For more details see the Call for Papers.In the last few days, a Denial of Service attack was launched on universities in Israel, leading the administrators of the Israel Academic network to block access to it from the global internet. Consequently, websites such as ECCC have been accessible only from within the Israeli and European academic networks.
It seems that this blocking was just removed, and we hope it will not be put back in the future.
Needless to say, deciding on such blocking is not in our control, but we do apologize for this disruption of service.
We prove a linear query complexity lower bound for two-sided testing of graph isomorphism in the bounded-degree model.
Specifically, there are constants $d$ and $\varepsilon_0$ such that, for every sufficiently large $n$,
there exists an $n$-vertex graph $H_n$ of maximum degree at most $d$ such that testing isomorphism ...

We construct explicit hitting set generators for $\mathbb{F}_2$-polynomials in $n$ variables of degree at most $d$ with an almost optimal density, and seed length $O(d \log n+d^2)$, which is optimal for $d = O(\log n)$.
Second, we address large-field hitting set generators. The influential state-of-the-art construction by Guruswami and Xing ... more >>>
Finding good tree code constructions is among the most natural questions in error-correcting codes over the Hamming channel. Unlike the usual setting, where one encodes a single message against adversarial errors, tree codes allow a sender to encode and send a stream, in an online manner, while protecting it from ... more >>>
