Complexity of Approximating Closest Substring Problems
The closest substring problem, where a short string is sought that minimizes the number of mismatches between it and each of a given set of strings, is a minimization problem with ...

On the Hardness and Easiness of Random 4-SAT Formulas
Assuming 3-SAT formulas are hard to refute with high probability, Feige showed approximation hardness results, among others for the max bipartite clique. We extend this result in t...

On Variants of the Spanning Star Forest Problem
A star forest is a collection of vertex-disjoint trees of depth at most 1, and its size is the number of leaves in all its components. A spanning star forest of a given graph G is ...

Optimal Hardness Results for Maximizing Agreements with Monomials
We consider the problem of finding a monomial (or a term) that maximizes the agreement rate with a given set of examples over the Boolean hypercube. The problem is motivated by le...
