About the ECCC

What we do and why

The Electronic Colloquium on Computational Complexity (ECCC) was established in 1994 as a forum and repository for the rapid and widespread interchange of ideas, techniques, and research in computational complexity. Posting on the ECCC has the status of a technical report. The Electronic Colloquium on Computational Complexity welcomes papers, short notes, and surveys, with
  • relevance to the theory of computation,
  • clear mathematical profile, and
  • strictly mathematical format.

Central topics

  • models of computation and their complexity.
  • complexity bounds and trade-offs (with the emphasis on lower bounds).
  • complexity theoretic aspects of specific areas including coding theory, combinatorics, cryptography, game theory, logic, machine learning, optimization, property testing, and quantum computation.
For more details see the Call for Papers.

Service Interruption

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.

Constant Rate Codes for Adaptive Broadcasts Do Not Exist

Can the $n$-party broadcast channel, where any symbol sent by one party is received by all, be made resilient to noise with low overhead? Namely, is it possible to construct interactive error-correcting codes that convert any protocol designed for the noiseless broadcast channel into one that works over the noisy ... more >>>

The Structure of In-Place Space-Bounded Computation

In the standard model of computing multi-output functions in logspace ($\text{FL}$), we are given a read-only tape holding $x$ and a logarithmic length worktape, and must print $f(x)$ to a dedicated write-only tape. However, there has been extensive work (both in theory and in practice) on in-place algorithms for ... more >>>

Strong (D)QBF Dependency Schemes via Pure Universal Resolution Paths

Certification for Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF) and Dependency Quantified Boolean Formulas is an ongoing challenge (DQBF). Recent proof complexity work has shown that the majority of QBF and DQBF techniques can be p-simulated by using the independent extension rule. In propositional logic, extension rules are supported by proof checkers using ... more >>>
