CT08 / Exam Information

Form

The exam will be an oral exam with no preparation time. There is allocated 30 minutes per student, including time for evaluation.

Dates

There is a choice between the following two dates.
  • January 13th
  • January 20th
Please inform me by email as soon as possible which date you would like to take the exam.

Questions

  1. Time and Space complexity. Alternation and the Polynomial time Hierarchy. (Lecture 1,2,3,4,5,6)
  2. Parallel computation, Circuits and Lower Bounds. (Lecture 7,8,9,10)
  3. Randomized Computation. Expanders and error reduction. (Lecture 11,12,13,14,15(first part))
  4. Pseudorandom generators. Error correcting codes and hardness amplification. (Lecture 15(last part),16,17,18,19)
  5. Interactive proofs, Probabilistically Checkable Proofs and Inapproximability. (Lecture 20,21,22,23,24)
The questions are very broad, so it is expected that you focus on one particular part within the exam question picked. After your presentation of this part, we will ask more broadly within the curriculum.
