We survey the theory of average-case complexity, with a
focus on problems in NP.

We are going to analyze simple search tree algorithms
for Weighted d-Hitting Set. Although the algorithms are simple, their analysis is technically rather involved. However, this approach allows us to even improve on elsewhere published algorithm running time estimates for the more restricted case of (unweighted) d-Hitting Set.

We consider hypotheses about nondeterministic computation that
have been studied in different contexts and shown to have interesting
consequences:

1. The measure hypothesis: NP does not have p-measure 0.

2. The pseudo-NP hypothesis: there is an NP language that can be
distinguished from any DTIME(2^n^epsilon) language by an ... more >>>
