Towards a theory for securing time synchronization in wireless sensor networks
Time synchronization in highly distributed wireless systems like sensor and ad hoc networks is extremely important in order to maintain a consistent notion of time throughout the ...

The detectability lemma and quantum gap amplification
The quantum analog of a constraint satisfaction problem is a sum of local Hamiltonians - each (term of the) Hamiltonian specifies a local constraint whose violation contributes to...

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...

Generalized hypertree decompositions: np-hardness and tractable variants
The generalized hypertree width GHW(H) of a hypergraph H is a measure of its cyclicity. Classes of conjunctive queries or constraint satisfaction problems whose associated hypergr...

A combinatorial genetic algorithm for the configuration of the 2dF/AAOmega spectrograph at the anglo-Australian observatory
To help unravel the structure of the universe, astronomers have developed systems which observe large clusters of objects at the same time. One such system is the 2-degree field s...
