Predictive complexity and information

A new notion of predictive complexity and corresponding amount of
information are considered.
Predictive complexity is a generalization of Kolmogorov complexity
which bounds the ability of any algorithm to predict elements of
a sequence of outcomes. We consider predictive complexity for a wide class
of bounded loss functions which ... more >>>

Approximating Bounded Degree Instances of NP-Hard Problems

We present some of the recent results on computational complexity
of approximating bounded degree combinatorial optimization problems. In
particular, we present the best up to now known explicit nonapproximability
bounds on the very small degree optimization problems which are of
particular importance on the intermediate stages ... more >>>

Time-Space Tradeoffs in the Counting Hierarchy

We extend the lower bound techniques of [Fortnow], to the
unbounded-error probabilistic model. A key step in the argument
is a generalization of Nepomnjascii's theorem from the Boolean
setting to the arithmetic setting. This generalization is made
possible, due to the recent discovery of logspace-uniform TC^0
