It is well-known that the class of sets that can be computed by polynomial size circuits is equal to the class of sets that are polynomial time reducible to a sparse set. It is widely believed, but unfortunately up to now unproven, that there are sets in EXP^{NP}, or even ... more >>>
A recursive enumerator for a function h is an algorithm f which
enumerates for an input x finitely many elements including h(x).
f is an k(n)-enumerator if for every input x of length n, h(x)
is among the first k(n) elements enumerated by f.
If there is a k(n)-enumerator for ...

Normally, communication Complexity deals with how many bits
Alice and Bob need to exchange to compute f(x,y)
(Alice has x, Bob has y). We look at what happens if
Alice has x_1,x_2,...,x_n and Bob has y_1,...,y_n
and they want to compute f(x_1,y_1)... f(x_n,y_n).
THis seems hard. We look at various ...
