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...

Nondeterministic Instance Complexity and Proof Systems with Advice
Abstract. Motivated by strong Karp-Lipton collapse results in bounded arithmetic, Cook and Kraj´ıˇcek [7] have recently introduced the notion of propositional proof systems with...

Optimizing complex queries with multiple relation instances
Today's query processing engines do not take advantage of the multiple occurrences of a relation in a query to improve performance. Instead, each instance is treated as a dis...

The complexity of non-hierarchical clustering with instance and cluster level constraints
Recent work has looked at extending clustering algorithms with instance level must-link (ML) and cannot-link (CL) background information. Our work introduces δ and ǫ cluster lev...
