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 construct an explicit distribution $\mathbf{D}$ over $\{0,1\}^N$ that exhibits an essentially optimal separation between adaptive and non-adaptive cell-probe sampling. The distribution can be sampled exactly when each output bit is allowed two adaptive probes to an arbitrarily long sequence of independent uniform symbols from $[N]$. In contrast, any non-adaptive ... more >>>
List-decoding and list recovery ask how much corruption or uncertainty a code can tolerate while still keeping the number of plausible codewords small. For large alphabet codes, the ultimate benchmark for list-decoding is the ($\epsilon$-relaxed) generalized Singleton bound, which targets list-of-$L$ decoding radius with rate $R$ up to radius $\frac{L}{L+1}(1-R-\epsilon)$. ... more >>>
A famous theorem of Kruskal gives the simplest and arguably most fundamental criterion under which a tensor is guaranteed a unique minimum-rank decomposition. Kruskal's condition requires that the sum of the Kruskal ranks $\{k_i\}_{i=1}^m$ of the components satisfies $\sum_{i \in [m]} k_i \ge 2r + m - 1$, where $r$ ... more >>>
