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.
A major open problem at the interface of quantum computing and communication complexity is whether quantum protocols can be exponentially more efficient than classical protocols for computing total Boolean functions; the prevailing conjecture is that they are not. In a seminal work, Razborov (2002) resolved this question for AND-functions of ... more >>>
We study systems of linear equations modulo two in $n$ variables
with three variables in each equation. We assume that the system has
a solution with $pn$ variables taking the value 1 for some value
$00$ it is hard to find a solution
of the same weight that satisfies at ...

We introduce the SHEDAG (Somewhere Honest Entropic sources over Directed Acyclic Graphs) source model, a general model for multi-block randomness sources with causal correlations.
A SHEDAG source is defined over a directed acyclic graph (DAG) $G$ whose nodes output $n$-bit blocks. Blocks output by honest nodes are independent (by ...
