Generalized hypertree decompositions: np-hardness and tractable variants
The generalized hypertree width GHW(H) of a hypergraph H is a measure of its cyclicity. Classes of conjunctive queries or constraint satisfaction problems whose associated hypergr...

One-Bit-Matching ICA Theorem, Convex-Concave Programming, and Combinatorial Optimization
Recently, a mathematical proof is obtained in (Liu, Chiu, Xu, 2004) on the so called one-bit-matching conjecture that all the sources can be separated as long as there is an one-to...

Improving Customer Proximity to Railway Stations
Abstract. We consider problems of (new) station placement along (existing) railway tracks, so as to increase the number of users. We prove that, in spite of the NP-hardness for the...

Combinatorial approach to the interpolation method and scaling limits in sparse random graphs
We establish the existence of free energy limits for several sparse random hypergraph models corresponding to certain combinatorial models on Erd¨os-R´enyi graph G(N, c/N) and r...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...
