We revisit the complexity of the satisfiability problem for quantified Boolean formulas. We show that satisfiability
of quantified CNFs of size $\poly(n)$ on $n$ variables with $O(1)$
quantifier blocks can be solved in time $2^{n-n^{\Omega(1)}}$ by zero-error
randomized algorithms. This is the first known improvement over brute force search in ...

We put forward a new approach for the design of efficient multiparty protocols:
1. Design a protocol for a small number of parties (say, 3 or 4) which achieves
security against a single corrupted party. Such protocols are typically easy
to construct as they may employ techniques that do not ...

This note studies the average-case comparison-complexity of sorting n elements when there is a known distribution on inputs and the goal is to minimize
the expected number of comparisons. We generalize Fredman's algorithm which
is a variant of insertion sort and provide a basically tight upper bound: If \mu is
