A merger is a probabilistic procedure which extracts the
randomness out of any (arbitrarily correlated) set of random
variables, as long as one of them is uniform. Our main result is
an efficient, simple, optimal (to constant factors) merger, which,
for $k$ random vairables on $n$ bits each, uses a ...

Representations of Boolean functions by real polynomials
play an important role in complexity theory. Typically,
one is interested in the least degree of a polynomial
p(x_1,...,x_n) that approximates or sign-represents
a given Boolean function f(x_1,...,x_n). This article
surveys a new and growing body of work in communication
complexity that centers ...

Integer multiplication as one of the basic arithmetic functions has been
in the focus of several complexity theoretical investigations.
Ordered binary decision diagrams (OBDDs) are one of the most common
dynamic data structures for boolean functions.
Among the many areas of application are verification, model checking,
computer-aided design, relational algebra, ...
