On the Hardness of Approximating the Network Coding Capacity
Abstract—This work addresses the computational complexity of achieving the capacity of a general network coding instance. We focus on the linear capacity, namely the capacity of ...

Universal Algebra and Hardness Results for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We present algebraic conditions on constraint languages Γ that ensure the hardness of the constraint satisfaction problem CSP(Γ) for complexity classes L, NL, P, NP and ModpL. Th...

Ruling Out Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is the following computational problem: an instance is a finite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal...

On the Construction of One-Way Functions from Average Case Hardness
In this paper we study the possibility of proving the existence of one-way functions based on average case hardness. It is well-known that if there exists a polynomial-time sample...

A Random Constraint Satisfaction Problem That Seems Hard for DPLL
Abstract. This paper discusses an NP-complete constraint satisfaction problem which appears to share many of the threshold characteristics of SAT but is similar to XOR-SAT and so i...
