Average-case Complexity

Average-Case Complexity is a thorough survey of the average-case complexity of problems in NP. The study of the average-case complexity of intractable problems began in the 1970s, motivated by two distinct applications: the developments of the foundations of cryptography and the search for methods to ?cope? with the intractability of NP-hard problems. This survey looks at both, and generally examines the current state of knowledge on average-case complexity.Average-Case Complexity is intended for scholars and graduate students in the field of theoretical computer science. The reader will also discover a number of results, insights, and proof techniques whose usefulness goes beyond the study of average-case complexity.Bogdanov, Andrej is the author of 'Average-case Complexity ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781933019499 and ISBN 1933019492.
