In the Orthogonal Vectors problem (OV), we are given two families $A, B$ of subsets of $\{1,\ldots,d\}$, each of size $n$, and the task is to decide whether there exists a pair $a \in A$ and $b \in B$ such that $a \cap b = \emptyset$.…

Given a set $X$ of $n$ binary words of equal length $w$, the 3XOR problem asks for three elements $a, b, c \in X$ such that $a \oplus b=c$, where $ \oplus$ denotes the bitwise XOR operation. The problem can be easily solved on a word RAM…

For many hard computational problems, simple algorithms that run in time $2^n \cdot n^{O(1)}$ arise, say, from enumerating all subsets of a size-$n$ set. Finding (exponentially) faster algorithms is a natural goal that has driven much of…
