The Waxman-Markey climate bill, which passed the House of Representatives in June, contains this requirement (20percentt by 2020); the Senate is currently considering a slightly weaker version.
When stating the existence theorem, we restrict our consideration to a slightly weaker version of condition (6.4), where the value ϱ ∗ ≈ 0.2927 is replaced by 0.3, and thus neglect the gap ( 0, 0.00727 … ) for ε in estimates (6.11) and (6.18).
On the one hand, we reformulate it in a slightly weaker version, assuming that (E) is finitely presented (instead of assuming that (E) has Property FP _2), as in the original paper); on the other hand, we formulate it for virtually metabelian groups, because this follows immediately from the case of metabelian groups.
The weak showing property is a slightly weak version of the orbital shadowing property.
These bounds are essentially the constant-weight versions of the Gilbert-Varshamov and Hamming bounds, respectively, and have been proven mathematically; specifically, the lower bound is due to Levenshtein (Levenshtein, 1971; Jiang and Vardy, 2004), and the upper bound is slightly weaker version of that developed by Freiman, Berger, and Johnson (Freiman, 1964; Agrell et al., 2000).
Among many improvements, we introduce a slightly weaker and more general version of the Strong Diffie-Hellman assumption, and give a proof of the BB short signature scheme based on this weaker assumption.
A general version with a slightly weaker conclusion is also proved.
We propose further a light version of ReSBDS method (LReSBDS), which has a slightly weaker pruning power of ReSBDS but with a reduced overhead.
