In this paper we study a fundamental open problem in the area of probabilistic checkable proofs: What is the smallest s such that NP naPCP1,s[O(log n), 3]? In the language of har...
We consider the problem of designing a near-optimal linear decision tree to classify two given point sets B and W in n. A linear decision tree de nes a polyhedral subdivision of sp...

Genetic algorithms are often applied to combinatorial optimization problems, the most popular one probably being the traveling salesperson problem. In contrast to permutations use...
High-level programming languages offer significant expressivity but provide little or no guarantees about resource use. Resourcebounded languages -- such as hardware-description l...
