On Random Hard Sets for NP

NP-Hard Sets are Superterse Unless NP is Small

Relationships between NP-sets, Co-NP-sets, and P-sets relative to random oracles

In the present paper we prove that relative to random oracle A (with respect to the uniform measure) the following three assertions hold: (1) there is a pair of disjoint NP A-sets which are separable by no P A-set, (2) there is a pair of disjoint Co-NP A-sets which are separable by no P A-set and (3) there is an innnite Co-NP A-set having no innnite NP A-subset

Propagation Models and Fitting Them for the Boolean Random Sets

In order to study the relationship between random Boolean sets and some explanatory variables, this paper introduces a Propagation model. This model can be applied when corresponding Poisson process of the Boolean model is related to explanatory variables and the random grains are not affected by these variables. An approximation for the likelihood is used to find pseudo-maximum likelihood esti...

Knapsack cryptosystems built on NP-hard instance

We construct three public key knapsack cryptosystems. Standard knapsack cryptosystems hide easy instances of the knapsack problem and have been broken. The systems considered in the article face this problem: They hide a random (possibly hard) instance of the knapsack problem. We provide both complexity results (size of the key, time needed to encypher/decypher...) and experimental results. Sec...
