Effective Lower Bounding Techniques for Pseudo-Boolean Optimization
Linear Pseudo-Boolean Optimization (PBO) is a widely used modeling framework in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Due to significant advances in Boolean Satisfiability (SAT), ...

Geometric dilation of closed planar curves: New lower bounds
Given two points on a closed planar curve, C, we can divide the length of a shortest connecting path in C by their Euclidean distance. The supremum of these ratios, taken over all...

New Lower Bounds for Convex Hull Problems in Odd Dimensions
We show that in the worst case, (ndd=2e;1 +n logn) sidedness queries are required to determine whether the convex hull of n points in IRd is simplicial, or to determine the number ...

A Stronger LP Bound for Formula Size Lower Bounds via Clique Constraints
We introduce a new technique proving formula size lower bounds based on the linear programming bound originally introduced by Karchmer, Kushilevitz and Nisan [11] and the theory of...

Solving MAX-r-SAT Above a Tight Lower Bound
We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed r ≥ 2 in time O(m) + 2O(k2 ) whether a given multiset of m clauses of size r admits a truth assignment that satisfi...
