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...

Hardness for Explicit State Software Model Checking Benchmarks
Directed model checking algorithms focus computation resources in the error-prone areas of concurrent systems. The algorithms depend on some empirical analysis to report their per...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...

Computing Over-Approximations with Bounded Model Checking
Bounded Model Checking (BMC) searches for counterexamples to a property with a bounded length k. If no such counterexample is found, k is increased. This process terminates when ...

Alternative techniques to solve hard multi-objective optimization problems
In this paper, we propose the combination of different optimization techniques in order to solve “hard” two- and threeobjective optimization problems at a relatively low comp...
