We show that for a given set of m pairwise constraints over n variables, a variable assignment that satisfies maximally many m constraints (MAX-2-CSP) can be found in O(nm dn/3) t...
Max-Satisfy is the problem of finding an assignment that satisfies the maximum number of equations in a system of linear equations over Q. We prove that unless NPBPP Max-Satisfy c...
A 4-graph is odd if its vertex set can be partitioned into two sets so that every edge intersects both parts in an odd number of points. Let b(n) = max n 3 + (n - ) 3 = 1 2 + o...
A simple 2-matching in a graph is a subgraph all of whose nodes have degree 1 or 2. A simple 2-matching is called k-restricted if every connected component has > k edges. We co...
We consider the problem known as MAX-SATISFY: given a system of m linear equations over the rationals, find a maximum set of equations that can be satisfied. Let r be the width of...
Let n(G) denote the number of vertices of a graph G and let (G) be the independence number of G, the maximum number of pairwise nonadjacent vertices of G. The Hall ratio of a grap...
For n 27 we present exact values for the maximum number h(n) of halving lines and h(n) of halving pseudolines, determined by n points in the plane. For this range of values of n ...
The objective of this paper is to study a special family of Minkowski sums, that is of polytopes relatively in general position. We show that the maximum number of faces in the su...
The maximum number of edges spanned by a subset of given diameter in a Hamming space with alphabet size at least three is determined. The binary case was solved earlier by Ahlswed...
