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 complexity of overcoming gaps with isotropic mutations and elitist selection
We consider the (1+λ) evolution strategy, an evolutionary algorithm for minimization in Rn , using isotropic mutations. Thus, for instance, Gaussian mutations adapted by the 1/5-r...

Bypassing Combinatorial Protections: Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Single-Peaked Electorates
For many election systems, bribery (and related) attacks have been shown NP-hard using constructions on combinatorially rich structures such as partitions and covers. It is import...

Satisfiability Allows No Nontrivial Sparsification Unless The Polynomial-Time Hierarchy Collapses
Consider the following two-player communication process to decide a language L: The first player holds the entire input x but is polynomially bounded; the second player is computa...

Real Algebraic Numbers: Complexity Analysis and Experimentation
Abstract. We present algorithmic, complexity and implementation results concerning real root isolation of a polynomial of degree d, with integer coefficients of bit size , using S...
