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.

Universally Optimal Streaming Algorithm for Random Walks in Dense Graphs

Sampling a random walk is a fundamental primitive in many graph applications. In the streaming model, it is known that sampling an $L$-step random walk on an $n$-vertex directed graph requires $\Omega(n L)$ space, implying that no sublinear-space streaming algorithm exists for general graphs.

We show that sublinear algorithms are ... more >>>

Synergies Between Complexity Theory and Nondeterministic Kolmogorov Complexity

We investigate central questions in complexity theory through the lens of time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity, focusing on $\textit{nondeterministic}$ measures [AKRR03] and their extensions. In more detail, we consider succinct encodings of a string by programs that may be nondeterministic (nK), randomized (rK), or combine both resources – yielding richer notions such ... more >>>

A new characterization of VNP via Colored Determinant

The main theme of this work is to provide a new characterization of the algebraic complexity class VNP. We achieve this via following the two main steps -
- We define a combinatorial variant of the determinant polynomial which we call the colored determinant and show it to be VNP-complete ... more >>>
