ABSTRACT. The maximum independent set problem (MAXIS) on general graphs is known to be NPhard to approximate within a factor of n1-, for any > 0. However, there are many "...

Abstract. Many real-time embedded systems involve a collection of independently executing event-driven code blocks, having hard real-time constraints. Portions of such codes when t...

Motivated by recent work on quantum black-box query complexity, we consider quantum versions of two wellstudied models of learning Boolean functions: Angluin’s model of exact le...
We study the inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set on degree d graphs. We prove that: • Vertex Cover is Unique Games-hard to approximate to within a factor 2−(...
— We introduce the Oracular Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (OPOMDP), a type of POMDP in which the world produces no observations; instead there is an “oracle,” ...
