Hard and soft constraints for reasoning about qualitative conditional preferences
Many real life optimization problems are defined in terms of both hard and soft constraints, and qualitative conditional preferences. However, there is as yet no single framework f...

The Shortest Vector in a Lattice is Hard to Approximate to Within Some Constant
We show that approximating the shortest vector problem (in any p norm) to within any constant factor less than p 2 is hard for NP under reverse unfaithful random reductions with i...

Reasoning about soft constraints and conditional preferences: complexity results and approximation techniques
Many real life optimization problems contain both hard and soft constraints, as well as qualitative conditional preferences. However, there is no single formalism to specify all t...

Soundness Preserving Approximation for TBox Reasoning in R
Abstract. TBox reasoning in description logics is hard. For example, reasoning in SROIQ (i.e. OWL2-DL) is N2EXPTIME-complete; even with R, a fragment of SROIQ supporting ALC GCIs a...
