Random Noise and Random Walk algorithms are local search strategies that have been used for the problem of satisfiability testing (SAT). We present a Markov-chain based analysis o...

In this paper we show a reduction from the Unique Games problem to the problem of approximating MAX-CUT to within a factor of GW + , for all > 0; here GW .878567 denotes the a...

Intermediate measurements in quantum circuits compare to conditional branchings in programming languages. Due to this, quantum circuits have a natural linear-tree structure. In thi...
: 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 ...
