We give an answer to the question of Barrington, Beigel and Rudich, asked in 1992, concerning the largest n such that the OR function of n variable can be weakly represented by a quadratic polynomial modulo 6. More specially,we show that no 11-variable quadratic polynomial exists that is congruent to ... more >>>

We explore whether various complexity classes can have linear or
more generally $n^k$-sized circuit families for some fixed $k$. We
show

1) The following are equivalent,
- NP is in SIZE(n^k) (has O(n^k)-size circuit families) for some k
- P^NP|| is in SIZE(n^k) for some k
- ONP/1 is in ... more >>>

We show how to find in Hamiltonian graphs a cycle of length
$n^{\Omega(1/\log\log n)}$. This is a consequence of a more general
result in which we show that if $G$ has maximum degree $d$ and has a
cycle with $k$ vertices (or a 3-cyclable minor $H$ with $k$ vertices),
then ... more >>>
