Sharp Quantum versus Classical Query Complexity Separations
We obtain the strongest separation between quantum and classical query complexity known to date--specifically, we define a black-box problem that requires exponentially many querie...

An exact almost optimal algorithm for target set selection in social networks
The Target Set Selection problem proposed by Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos, gives a nice clean combinatorial formulation for many problems arising in economy, sociology, and medicin...

Fixed-parameter evolutionary algorithms and the vertex cover problem
In this paper, we consider multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for the Vertex Cover problem in the context of parameterized complexity. We relate the runtime of our algorithms...

Playing games for security: an efficient exact algorithm for solving Bayesian Stackelberg games
In a class of games known as Stackelberg games, one agent (the leader) must commit to a strategy that can be observed by the other agent (the follower or adversary) before the adv...

A Complexity Dichotomy for Finding Disjoint Solutions of Vertex Deletion Problems
We investigate the computational complexity of a general “compression task” centrally occurring in the recently developed technique of iterative compression for exactly solving...
