Hardness of Approximating the Closest Vector Problem with Pre-Processing
d Abstract] Mikhail Alekhnovich ∗ Subhash A. Khot † Guy Kindler ‡ Nisheeth K. Vishnoi § We show that, unless NP⊆DTIME(2poly log(n) ), the closest vector problem with pre-...

Preprocessing Expression-Based Constraint Satisfaction Problems for Stochastic Local Search
Abstract. This work presents methods for processing a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) formulated by an expression-based language, before the CSP is presented to a stochastic ...

Parameterized Complexity Results in Symmetry Breaking
Abstract. Symmetry is a common feature of many combinatorial problems. Unfortunately eliminating all symmetry from a problem is often computationally intractable. This paper argues...

Complexity Cores and Hard Problem Instances
Many intractable problems such as NP-complete problems (provided P = NP) have easy subproblems. In contrast, we investigate the existence and the properties of inherently hard sub...
