We provide the first hardness result for the Covering Radius Problem on lattices (CRP). Namely, we show that for any large enough p there exists a constant cp > 1 such that C...
—In 1997, H˚astad showed NP-hardness of (1 − , 1/q + δ)-approximating Max-3Lin(Zq); however it was not until 2007 that Guruswami and Raghavendra were able to show NP-hardness...
Abstract. Combining classical approximability questions with parameterized complexity, we introduce a theory of parameterized approximability. The main intention of this theory is ...
Assuming the existence of one-way functions, we show that there is no polynomial-time, differentially private algorithm A that takes a database D ({0, 1}d )n and outputs a "...
We present empirical evidence that the distribution of e ort required to solve CSPs randomly generated at the 50% satis able point, when using a backtracking algorithm, can be app...
