On the Complexity of Matroid Isomorphism Problems
We study the complexity of testing if two given matroids are isomorphic. The problem is easily seen to be in Σp 2 . In the case of linear matroids, which are represented over poly...

Convex Recoloring Revisited: Complexity and Exact Algorithms
We take a new look at the convex path recoloring (CPR), convex tree recoloring (CTR), and convex leaf recoloring (CLR) problems through the eyes of the independent set problem. Th...

On Generating Independent Random Strings
It is shown that from two strings that are partially random and independent (in the sense of Kolmogorov complexity) it is possible to effectively construct polynomially many strin...

Integer Programming: Optimization and Evaluation Are Equivalent
Abstract We show that if one can find the optimal value of an integer programming problem min{cx : Ax ≥ b, x ∈ Zn +} in polynomial time, then one can find an optimal solution...

Small Clique Detection and Approximate Nash Equilibria
Recently, Hazan and Krauthgamer showed [12] that if, for a fixed small ε, an ε-best ε-approximate Nash equilibrium can be found in polynomial time in two-player games, then it ...

Manipulating Tournaments in Cup and Round Robin Competitions
In sports competitions, teams can manipulate the result by, for instance, throwing games. We show that we can decide how to manipulate round robin and cup competitions, two of the ...

The k-in-a-path Problem for Claw-free Graphs
Testing whether there is an induced path in a graph spanning k given vertices is already NP-complete in general graphs when k = 3. We show how to solve this problem in polynomial t...

Testing additive integrality gaps
We consider the problem of testing whether the maximum additive integrality gap of a family of integer programs in standard form is bounded by a given constant. This can be viewed...
