Hard constraint satisfaction problems have hard gaps at location 1
An instance of the maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is a nite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal is to assign values to the variables ...

Ruling Out Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is the following computational problem: an instance is a finite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal...

Universal Algebra and Hardness Results for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We present algebraic conditions on constraint languages Γ that ensure the hardness of the constraint satisfaction problem CSP(Γ) for complexity classes L, NL, P, NP and ModpL. Th...

Conditional hardness for satisfiable 3-CSPs
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...

Maximal Strip Recovery Problem with Gaps: Hardness and Approximation Algorithms
Abstract. Given two comparative maps, that is two sequences of markers each representing a genome, the Maximal Strip Recovery problem (MSR) asks to extract a largest sequence of ma...
