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.
Zero-knowledge codes, introduced by Decatur, Goldreich, and Ron (ePrint 1997), are error-correcting codes in which few codeword symbols reveal no information about the encoded message, and have been extensively used in cryptographic constructions. Quantum CSS codes, introduced by Calderbank and Shor (Phys. Rev. A 1996) and Steane (Royal Society A ... more >>>
We study sparse polynomials with bounded individual degree and the class of their factors. In particular we obtain the following algorithmic and structural results:
1. A deterministic polynomial-time algorithm for finding all the sparse divisors of a sparse polynomial with bounded individual degree. As part of this, we establish ... more >>>
A symbolic determinant under rank-one restriction computes a polynomial of the form $\det(A_0 + A_1y_1 + \ldots + A_ny_n)$, where $A_0, A_1, \ldots, A_n$ are square matrices over a field $\mathbb{F}$ and $\rank(A_i) = 1$ for each $i \in [n]$. This class of polynomials has been studied extensively, since the ... more >>>
