The Complexity of Approximating Bounded-Degree Boolean #CSP
The degree of a CSP instance is the maximum number of times that a variable may appear in the scope of constraints. We consider the approximate counting problem for Boolean CSPs wi...

A memetic algorithm for a vehicle routing problem with backhauls
This paper considers an extension of a vehicle routing problem with backhauls (VRPB). In this problem, a set of costumers are divided in two subsets consisting of linehaul and bac...

Triangle Fixing Algorithms for the Metric Nearness Problem
Various problems in machine learning, databases, and statistics involve pairwise distances among a set of objects. It is often desirable for these distances to satisfy the propert...

Amplified Hardness of Approximation for VCG-Based Mechanisms
If a two-player social welfare maximization problem does not admit a PTAS, we prove that any maximal-in-range truthful mechanism that runs in polynomial time cannot achieve an app...

On the Uniform Learnability of Approximations to Non-Recursive Functions
Abstract. Blum and Blum (1975) showed that a class B of suitable recursive approximations to the halting problem is reliably EX-learnable. These investigations are carried on by sh...
