The closest substring problem, where a short string is sought that minimizes the number of mismatches between it and each of a given set of strings, is a minimization problem with ...
: Proving integrality gaps for linear relaxations of NP optimization problems is a difficult task and usually undertaken on a case-by-case basis. We initiate a more systematic app...
Abstract. Given a subset S of N, filtering a word a0a1 · · · an by S consists in deleting the letters ai such that i is not in S. By a natural generalization, denote by L[S], w...

We develop new proof techniques, based on non-interference, for the analysis of safety and liveness properties of cryptographic protocols expressed as terms of the process algebra ...
