A theory of resource-bounded dimension is developed using gales, which are natural generalizations of martingales. When the resource bound Δ (a parameter of the theory) is …
Classical fractal dimensions (Hausdorff dimension and packing dimension) have recently been effectivized by (i) characterizing them in terms of real‐valued functions called gales …
A hybrid algorithm is a collection of heuristics, paired with a polynomial time selector S that runs on the input to decide which heuristic should be executed to solve the problem. Hybrid …

Under the hypothesis that NP has positive p-dimension, we prove that any approximation algorithm A for MAX3SAT must satisfy at least one of the following: 1. For some¿ 0, A uses at …

We consider three complexity-theoretic hypotheses that have been studied in different contexts and shown to have many plausible consequences.–The Measure Hypothesis: NP …

We establish a relationship between the online mistake-bound model of learning and resource-bounded dimension. This connection is combined with the Winnow algorithm to …

Derandomization techniques are used to show that at least one of the following holds regarding the size of the counting complexity class SPP: In other words, SPP is small by …
This paper investigates the existence of inseparable disjoint pairs of NP languages and related strong hypotheses in computational complexity. Our main theorem says that, if NP …
