On Non-Approximability for Quadratic Programs
This paper studies the computational complexity of the following type of quadratic programs: given an arbitrary matrix whose diagonal elements are zero, find x ∈ {−1, +1}n th...

How to Get More Mileage from Randomness Extractors
Let C be a class of distributions over {0, 1}n . A deterministic randomness extractor for C is a function E : {0, 1}n {0, 1}m such that for any X in C the distribution E(X) is sta...

Deterministic Truthful Approximation Mechanisms for Scheduling Related Machines
Abstract. We consider the problem of scheduling jobs on related machines owned by selfish agents and provide the first deterministic mechanisms with constant approximation that a...
