Hardness Amplification via Space-Efficient Direct Products
We prove a version of the derandomized Direct Product lemma for deterministic space-bounded algorithms. Suppose a Boolean function g : {0, 1}n {0, 1} cannot be computed on more th...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...

Universal Algebra and Hardness Results for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We present algebraic conditions on constraint languages Γ that ensure the hardness of the constraint satisfaction problem CSP(Γ) for complexity classes L, NL, P, NP and ModpL. Th...

A Kernighan-Lin Local Improvement Heuristic That Solves Some Hard Problems in Genetic Algorithms
We present a Kernighan-Lin style local improvement heuristic for genetic algorithms. We analyze the run-time cost of the heuristic. We demonstrate through experiments that the heur...

Random Debaters and the Hardness of Approximating Stochastic Functions
A probabilistically checkable debate system (PCDS) for a language L consists of a probabilisticpolynomial-time veri er V and a debate between Player 1, who claims that the input x ...
