Near-Optimal Conversion of Hardness into Pseudo-Randomness
Various efforts ([?, ?, ?]) have been made in recent years to derandomize probabilistic algorithms using the complexity theoretic assumption that there exists a problem in E = dti...

Hierarchical Hardness Models for SAT
Abstract. Empirical hardness models are a recent approach for studying NP-hard problems. They predict the runtime of an instance using efficiently computable features. Previous res...

Interactive mesh deformation using equality-constrained least squares
Mesh deformation techniques that preserve the differential properties have been intensively studied. In this paper, we propose an equality-constrained least squares approach for s...

A New Quality of Service Metric for Hard/Soft Real-Time Applications
Real-time applications often have mixed hard and soft deadlines, can be preempted subject to the cost of context switching or the restart of computation, and have various data dep...
