We put forth a new computational notion of entropy, which measures the
(in)feasibility of sampling high entropy strings that are consistent
with a given protocol. Specifically, we say that the i'th round of a
protocol (A, B) has _accessible entropy_ at most k, if no
polynomial-time strategy A^* can generate ... more >>>

Does computing n copies of a function require n times the computational effort? In this work, we

give the first non-trivial answer to this question for the model of randomized communication

complexity.

We show that:

1. Computing n copies of a function requires sqrt{n} times the ... more >>>

Motivated by questions in property testing, we search for linear
error-correcting codes that have the ``single local orbit'' property:
i.e., they are specified by a single local
constraint and its translations under the symmetry group of the
code. We show that the dual of every ``sparse'' binary code
whose coordinates
