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...
In POPL 2002, Petrank and Rawitz showed a universal result-finding optimal data placement is not only NP-hard but also impossible to approximate within a constant factor if P = NP...
We analyze the problem of designing a truthful pay-per-click auction where the click-through-rates (CTR) of the bidders are unknown to the auction. Such an auction faces the class...
We present an algorithm for polyline (and polygon) similarity testing that is based on the double-cross formalism. To determine the degree of similarity between two polylines, the...
Current formal models for quantum computation deal only with unitary gates operating on “pure quantum states”. In these models it is difficult or impossible to deal formally w...
