Polynomial-Time Complexity for Instances of the Endomorphism Problem in Free Groups
Abstract. We say the endomorphism problem is solvable for an element W in a free group F if it can be decided effectively whether, given U in F , there is an endomorphism φ of F ...

Vertex-coloring edge-weightings: Towards the 1-2-3-conjecture
Abstract. A weighting of the edges of a graph is called vertexcoloring if the weighted degrees of the vertices yield a proper coloring of the graph. In this paper we show that such...

Instance-Dependent Verifiable Random Functions and Their Application to Simultaneous Resettability
Abstract. We introduce a notion of instance-dependent verifiable random functions (InstD-VRFs for short). Informally, an InstD-VRF is, in some sense, a verifiable random function [...

Tight Bounds on the Approximability of Almost-satisfiable Horn SAT and Exact Hitting Set}
We study the approximability of two natural Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: Horn satisfiability and exact hitting set. Under the Unique Games conjecture, we prove the fo...

On Quadratic Programming with a Ratio Objective
Quadratic Programming (QP) is the well-studied problem of maximizing over {−1, 1} values the quadratic form i=j aijxixj. QP captures many known combinatorial optimization proble...
