Sharp Separation and Applications to Exact and Parameterized Algorithms
Many divide-and-conquer algorithms employ the fact that the vertex set of a graph of bounded treewidth can be separated in two roughly balanced subsets by removing a small subset o...

Sharp Quantum versus Classical Query Complexity Separations
We obtain the strongest separation between quantum and classical query complexity known to date--specifically, we define a black-box problem that requires exponentially many querie...

On Exact and Approximation Algorithms for Distinguishing Substring Selection
Abstract. The NP-complete Distinguishing Substring Selection problem (DSSS for short) asks, given a set of “good” strings and a set of “bad” strings, for a solution string ...

Towards Sharp Inapproximability For Any 2-CSP
We continue the recent line of work on the connection between semidefinite programming-based approximation algorithms and the Unique Games Conjecture. Given any boolean 2-CSP (or...

Limits and Applications of Group Algebras for Parameterized Problems
The algebraic framework introduced in [Koutis, Proc. of the 35th ICALP 2008] reduces several combinatorial problems in parameterized complexity to the problem of detecting multili...
