An optimal local approximation algorithm for max-min linear programs
In a max-min LP, the objective is to maximise subject to Ax 1, Cx 1, and x 0 for nonnegative matrices A and C. We present a local algorithm (constant-time distributed algorith...

Filtering Algorithms for the NValue Constraint
Abstract. The NValue constraint counts the number of different values assigned to a vector of variables. Propagating generalized arc consistency on this constraint is NP-hard. We ...

Lower Bounds on Near Neighbor Search via Metric Expansion
In this paper we show how the complexity of performing nearest neighbor (NNS) search on a metric space is related to the expansion of the metric space. Given a metric space we loo...

Lower Bounds and Hardness Amplification for Learning Shallow Monotone Formulas
Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...
