It has been shown in previous recent work that
multiplicity automata are predictable from multiplicity
and equivalence queries. In this paper we generalize
related notions in a matrix representation
and obtain a basis for the solution
of a number of open problems in learnability theory.
Membership queries are generalized ... more >>>

NP = PCP(log n, 1) and related results crucially depend upon
the close connection between the probability with which a
function passes a ``low degree test'' and the distance of
this function to the nearest degree d polynomial. In this
paper we study a test proposed ... more >>>
