: We derandomize results of H?astad (1999) and Feige and Kilian (1998) and show that for all > 0, approximating MAX CLIQUE and CHROMATIC NUMBER to within n1are NP-hard. We furt...
Unique games are constraint satisfaction problems that can be viewed as a generalization of Max-Cut to a larger domain size. The Unique Games Conjecture states that it is hard to ...

In this paper, we present a simple distributed algorithm for resource allocation which simultaneously approximates the optimum value for a large class of objective functions. In p...
We present a randomized Byzantine Agreement (BA) protocol with an expected running time of O(log n) rounds, in a synchronous full-information network of n players. For any constan...
We present the first randomized polynomial-time simplex algorithm for linear programming. Like the other known polynomial-time algorithms for linear programming, its running time ...
