We reduce non-deterministic time $T \ge 2^n$ to a 3SAT
instance $\phi$ of size $|\phi| = T \cdot \log^{O(1)} T$
such that there is an explicit circuit $C$ that on input
an index $i$ of $\log |\phi|$ bits outputs the $i$th
clause, and each output bit of $C$ depends on ... more >>>

We study the problem of constructing locally computable Universal One-Way Hash Functions (UOWHFs) $H:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}^m$. A construction with constant \emph{output locality}, where every bit of the output depends only on a constant number of bits of the input, was established by [Applebaum, Ishai, and Kushilevitz, SICOMP 2006]. However, this ... more >>>

Over the years, proof systems for propositional satisfiability (SAT)
have been extensively studied. Recently, proof systems for
quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs) have also been gaining attention.
Q-resolution is a calculus enabling producing proofs from
DPLL-based QBF solvers. While DPLL has become a dominating technique
for SAT, QBF has been tackled ... more >>>
