Black-Box Separation Between Multi-Collision Resistance and Collision Resistance

A $K$-multi-collision-resistant hash function ($K$-MCRH) is a shrinking keyed function for which it is computationally infeasible to find $K$ distinct inputs that map to the same output under a randomly chosen hash key; the case $K = 2$ coincides with the standard definition of collision-resistant hash function (CRH).

Using Hardness vs Randomness to Design Low-Space Algorithms

Can we use ``hardness vs randomness'' techniques to design low-space algorithms? This text surveys a sequence of recent works showing ways to do that.
These works designed algorithms for certified derandomization and for catalytic computation (which work unconditionally), derandomization and isolation algorithms from remarkably mild assumptions, and ``win-win'' pairs ... more >>>

Polynomial-Time Almost Log-Space Tree Evaluation by Catalytic Pebbling

Revisions: 1

The Tree Evaluation Problem (TreeEval) is a computational problem originally proposed as a candidate to prove a separation between complexity classes P and L. Recently, this problem has gained significant attention after Cook and Mertz (STOC 2024) showed that TreeEval can be solved using $O(\log n\log\log n)$ bits of space. ... more >>>
