We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...
Consider a routing problem instance consisting of a demand graph H = (V, E(H)) and a supply graph G = (V, E(G)). If the pair obeys the cut condition, then the flow-cut gap for thi...

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 ...

A strong direct product theorem (SDPT) states that solving n instances of a problem requires ˝.n/ times the resources for a single instance, even to achieve success probability 2 ...
