An Almost Optimal Rank Bound for Depth-3 Identities

We show that the rank of a depth-3 circuit (over any field) that is simple,
minimal and zero is at most O(k^3\log d). The previous best rank bound known was
2^{O(k^2)}(\log d)^{k-2} by Dvir and Shpilka (STOC 2005).
This almost resolves the rank question first posed by ... more >>>

Optimal Proof Systems and Complete Languages

We investigate the connection between optimal propositional
proof systems and complete languages for promise classes.
We prove that an optimal propositional proof system exists
if and only if there exists a propositional proof system
in which every promise class with the test set in co-NP

A Divergence Formula for Randomness and Dimension

If $S$ is an infinite sequence over a finite alphabet $\Sigma$ and $\beta$ is a probability measure on $\Sigma$, then the {\it dimension} of $ S$ with respect to $\beta$, written $\dim^\beta(S)$, is a constructive version of Billingsley dimension that coincides with the (constructive Hausdorff) dimension $\dim(S)$ when $\beta$ is ... more >>>
