Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
We show that finding small solutions to random modular linear equations is at least as hard as approximating several lattice problems in the worst case within a factor almost line...
