چکیده

The class TFNP, defined by Megiddo and Papadimitriou, consists of multivalued functions with values that are polynomially verifiable and guaranteed to exist. Do we have evidence that such functions are hard, for example, if TFNP is computable in polynomial-time does this imply the polynomial-time hierarchy collapses? We give a relativized negative answer to this question by exhibiting an oracle under which TFNP functions are easy to compute but the polynomial-time hierarchy is infinite. To create the oracle, we introduce Kolmogorov-generic oracles where the strings placed in the oracle are derived from an exponentially long Kolmogorov-random string. We also show that relative to this same oracle, P 6= UP and TFNP functions are not computable in polynomial-time with a SAT oracle.

Helicopter Blade Stability Analysis Using Aeroelastic Frequency Response Functions

In the present paper, the aeroelastic stability of helicopter rotor blade is determined using Aeroelastic Frequency Response Function. The conventional methods of aeroelastic stability usually use an iterative procedure while the present method does not require such approach. Aeroelastic Frequency Response Functions are obtained by inverting dynamic stiffness matrix of the aeroelastic system. S...

Inverting Onto Functions and Polynomial Hierarchy

The class TFNP, defined by Megiddo and Papadimitriou, consists of multivalued functions with values that are polynomially verifiable and guaranteed to exist. Do we have evidence that such functions are hard, for example, if TFNP is computable in polynomial-time does this imply the polynomial-time hierarchy collapses? By computing a multivalued function in deterministic polynomial-time we mean o...

Inverting Onto Functions

We look at the hypothesis that all honest onto polynomial-time computable functions have a polynomial-time computable inverse. We show this hypothesis equivalent to several other complexity conjectures including • In polynomial time, one can find accepting paths of nondeterministic polynomialtime Turing machines that accept Σ∗. • Every total multivalued nondeterministic function has a polynomia...

Inverting the spherical Radon transform for physi- cally meaningful functions

Abstract In this paper we refer to the reconstruction formulas given in Andersson’s On the determination of a function from spherical averages, which are often used in applications such as SAR1 and SONAR2. We demonstrate that the first one of these formulas does not converge given physically reasonable assumptions. An alternative is proposed and it is shown that the second reconstruction formul...

On the Exact Security of Full Domain Hash

The Full Domain Hash (FDH) scheme is a RSA-based signature scheme in which the message is hashed onto the full domain of the RSA function. The FDH scheme is provably secure in the random oracle model, assuming that inverting RSA is hard. In this paper we exhibit a slightly different proof which provides a tighter security reduction. This in turn improves the efficiency of the scheme since small...
