Solving hard instances of floorplacement
Physical Design of modern systems on chip is extremely challenging. Such digital integrated circuits often contain tens of millions of logic gates, intellectual property blocks, e...

Using Randomization and Learning to Solve Hard Real-World Instances of Satisfiability
This paper addresses the interaction between randomization, with restart strategies, and learning, an often crucial technique for proving unsatisfiability. We use instances of SAT ...

If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case, Then it is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

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...

Hard Instances of the Constrained Discrete Logarithm Problem
The discrete logarithm problem (DLP) generalizes to the constrained DLP, where the secret exponent x belongs to a set known to the attacker. The complexity of generic algorithms f...
