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...

Some Algorithmic Improvements for the Containment Problem of Conjunctive Queries with Negation
Query containment is a fundamental problem of databases. Given two queries q1 and q2, it asks whether the set of answers to q1 is included in the set of answers to q2 for any datab...

Approximation of min-max and min-max regret versions of some combinatorial optimization problems
This paper investigates, for the first time in the literature, the approximation of minmax (regret) versions of classical problems like shortest path, minimum spanning tree, and ...

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...
