Unbiased Statistics of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem - a Controlled-Bias Generator
: We show that estimating the complexity (mean and distribution) of the instances of a fixed size Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) can be very hard. We deal with the main two ...

Where are the hard manipulation problems?
One possible escape from the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem is computational complexity. For example, it is NP-hard to compute if the STV rule can be manipulated. However, there is...

Phase Transitions and Complexity of Weighted Satisfiability and Other Intractable Parameterized Problems
The study of random instances of NP complete and coNP complete problems has had much impact on our understanding of the nature of hard problems. In this work, we initiate an effor...

Approximating the Maximum Isomorphic Agreement Subtree Is Hard
The Maximum Isomorphic Agreement Subtree (MIT) problem is one of the simplest versions of the Maximum Interval Weight Agreement Subtree method (MIWT) which is used to compare phyl...

Probabilistic analysis of knapsack core algorithms
We study the average-case performance of algorithms for the binary knapsack problem. Our focus lies on the analysis of so-called core algorithms, the predominant algorithmic conce...
