Explicit rank-metric codes list-decodable with optimal redundancy

We construct an explicit family of linear rank-metric codes over any field ${\mathbb F}_h$ that enables efficient list decoding up to a fraction $\rho$ of errors in the rank metric with a rate of $1-\rho-\epsilon$, for any desired $\rho \in (0,1)$ and $\epsilon > 0$. Previously, a Monte Carlo construction ... more >>>

Formulas vs. Circuits for Small Distance Connectivity

We give the first super-polynomial separation in the power of bounded-depth boolean formulas vs. circuits. Specifically, we consider the problem Distance $k(n)$ Connectivity, which asks whether two specified nodes in a graph of size $n$ are connected by a path of length at most $k(n)$. This problem is solvable (by ... more >>>

On Fractional Block Sensitivity

Revisions: 1 , Comments: 1

In this paper we study the fractional block sensitivityof Boolean functions. Recently, Tal (ITCS, 2013) and
Gilmer, Saks, and Srinivasan (CCC, 2013) independently introduced this complexity measure, denoted by $fbs(f)$, and showed
that it is equal (up to a constant factor) to the randomized certificate complexity, denoted by $RC(f)$, which ... more >>>
