....a non zero row vector fi of length L such that fiff = 0. Now, recall from Section 1.1 that U 1 (ffi) is exactly the theory capturing NC computations. Examples of fis needed in Facts 1, 2 are known to be NC computable from ff. For Fact 1 one could apply the standard derandomization procedure [16]; the NC algorithm for Fact 2 is based upon computing the matrix rank [15] Hence U 1 (ffi) can define relationals ffi witnessing Facts 1, 2 in the real world. It is not clear, however, to which extent U 1 (ffi) can prove the desired properties of these relationals. The point is that the ....

Almost k-wise Independent Sample Spaces and Their.. - Kurosawa, Johansson.. (1997)   (Correct)

....independent sample space is a probability space on m bit sequences such that any k bits are almost independent. A ffl biased sample space is a space in which any (boolean) linear combination of the m bits has the value 1 with probability close to 1=2. These notions were introduced by Naor and Naor [17] and further studied in [1] due to their applications to algorithms and complexity theory. However, there are also cryptographic applications: Krawczyk applied ffl biased sample spaces to the construction of authentication codes [13] In this paper, we investigate several new relationships between ....

The easier part is modulo the construction of random variables that are suitably approximately independent. After k wise ....

....simulation is the solution of a system of linear equations over a finite field. We first prove a probabilistic lemma of general interest. Under the assumption of the existence of a sparse set hard for P, we obtain an RNC 2 simulation of P. Using a small bias sample space construction ( NN90, AGHP90] we derandomize this algorithm to obtain an NC 2 simulation. Finally, exploiting additional algebraic properties of a closely related construction, we arrive at a Vandermonde system. We then solve the system using closed formulae involving the elementary symmetric polynomials over a ....

Guessing Secrets - Chung, Graham, Leighton (2001)   (2 citations)  (Correct)

The problem of guessing secrets is closely related to the study of small sample spaces supporting k wise independent (or nearly independent) random variables, which has a rich literature [2, 21, 3, 4]. The problem of interest there is to find a sample space as small as possible, and n binary random variables defined on it, with the property, called k wise independence, that for any choice of k random variables X 1 ; X k , the probabilities satisfy: P rob(X 1 : X k = a 1 : a k ....

The known constructions in [3, 21] gives an explicit, oblivious, inner product strategy with t = O(log N) queries. In fact, the construction described in Section 6 here can be obtained from one of the codes of [4] in the same manner.

....with the property that summing the hash function over different sets yields a different value with high probability. These two applications are discussed in Section 9. In Section 10 we briefly survey recent papers that have used the constructions described in this paper since it appeared in [42]. Independent of our work, Peralta [44] has considered ffl bias probability spaces as well, and showed some applications to number theoretic algorithms. His construction is based on quadratic residues and Weil s Theorem. 2 Preliminaries and definitions Let x = x 1 ; x n be f Gamma1; 1g ....

....The family H is accessible with O(log n log m) bits and for any subsets A and B of f1 : ng, the probability that P a2A h(a) P b2B h(b) is smaller than 1 m fi for fi constant, where addition is bitwise XoR. 10 Further results Since the preliminary version of this paper appeared in [42], several new applications of small bias probability spaces have been discovered. Alon [4] used them to obtain an NC 1 algorithm for the parallel version of Beck s algorithm for the Lovasz local lemma. Feder, Kushilevitz and Naor [24] have applied them to amortize the communication complexity of ....
