In this paper we study a fundamental open problem in the area of probabilistic checkable proofs: What is the smallest s such that NP naPCP1,s[O(log n), 3]? In the language of har...
New methods to generate hard random problem instances have driven progress on algorithms for deduction and constraint satisfaction. Recently Achlioptas et al. (AAAI 2000) introduc...

Abstract. The generic (aka. black-box) group model is a valuable methodology for analyzing the computational hardness of number-theoretic problems used in cryptography. Since the p...

Classical off-line approaches based on preemption such as RM (Rate Monotonic), DM (Deadline Monotonic), EDF (Earliest Deadline First), LLF (Least Laxity First), etc, give schedula...
Much excitement has been generated by the success of stochastic local search procedures at finding solutions to large, very hard satisfiability problems. Many of the problems on wh...
