Materialized Sample Views for Database Approximation
We consider the problem of creating a sample view of a database table. A sample view is an indexed, materialized view that permits efficient sampling from an arbitrary range query...

Optimal Sherali-Adams Gaps from Pairwise Independence
Abstract. This work considers the problem of approximating fixed predicate constraint satisfaction problems (MAX k-CSP(P)). We show that if the set of assignments accepted by P co...

Inapproximability Results for Maximum Edge Biclique, Minimum Linear Arrangement, and Sparsest Cut
We consider the Minimum Linear Arrangement problem and the (Uniform) Sparsest Cut problem. So far, these two notorious NP-hard graph problems have resisted all attempts to prove in...
