Separating Decision Tree Complexity from Subcube Partition Complexity
The subcube partition model of computation is at least as powerful as decision trees but no separation between these models was known. We show that there exists a function whose d...

A Tight Approximation Bound for the Stable Marriage Problem with Restricted Ties
The problem of finding a maximum cardinality stable matching in the presence of ties and unacceptable partners, called MAX SMTI, is a well-studied NP-hard problem. The MAX SMTI i...

Improved NP-Inapproximability for 2-Variable Linear Equations
An instance of the 2-Lin(2) problem is a system of equations of the form “xi + xj = b (mod 2)”. Given such a system in which it’s possible to satisfy all but an fraction of ...
