Are there superexponential NP-complete problems?

I’m not sure how you define “superexponential”, could you make it precise for me? If you define "super-exponential" as something described in the previous link like $2^{n^c}$: In this context, $O(n!)$ …

construct language in ${\sf BPP \backslash (RP \cup coRP)}$ assuming $\sf RP \neq ZPP$

Problem This is a HW problem from CMU 15-455 (hw10, p1(a)), spring 17 by Ryan O'Donnell. Assume $L \in {\sf RP \backslash ZPP}$. Define $$ L' = \left\{ (x, y) : \text{either $x \in L$ and $y \notin L$ …

Probabilistic methods for undecidable problem

What do you mean by randomness on nondeterministic TM? I think such a NTM with correct probability $\geq 2/3$ should be in PH by Sipser-Lautemann, and with probability 50% it's like something related …

Reduce Subset-Sum to Sat

I think a direct reduction can be done by the following process: setup a enable gate $e_i$ for each integer $x_i$ (then we can represent each bit of $x_i$ using $e_i$ and $0$), add all integers (with …

Can fine-grained hardness be proved directly from classical hardness (e.g., $\sf P \neq NP$)...

I have just learnt about some typical result of fine-grained hardness in 15-455 by Prof Ryan: CNF-SETH implies ${\sf DIAMETER} \notin {\sf TIME}(mn^{1-\epsilon})$. (Here DIAMETER stands for the graph …

How can we show that P is not closed under taking all long prefixes?

In fact Yuval's hint is all the solution you need: consider instance $I$ of any $\mathsf{NP}$-complete problem (e.g. 3SAT) and its proof $c$, let the proof appear in the second half of the constructed …
