Abstract:
ABSTRACT The study of sparse hard sets and sparse complete sets has been a central research area in complexity theory for nearly two decades. Recently new results using unexpected techniques have been obtained. They provide new and easier proofs of old theorems, proofs of new theorems that unify previously known results, resolutions of old conjectures, and connections to the fascinating world of randomization and derandomization. In this article we give an exposition of this vibrant research area. 1
