We give a precise definition of "generic-case complexity" and show that for a very large class of finitely generated groups the classical decision problems of group theory-the word, conjugacy, and membership problems-all have linear-time generic-case complexity. We prove such theorems by using the t

We study the average-case complexity of shortest-paths problems in the vertexpotential model. The vertex-potential model is a family of probability distributions on complete directed graphs with arbitrary real edge lengths, but without negative cycles. We show that on a graph with n vertices and wit
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 t
