Complexity of Decoding Positive-Rate Reed-Solomon Codes
Abstract. The complexity of maximum likelihood decoding of the ReedSolomon codes [q -1, k]q is a well known open problem. The only known result [4] in this direction states that it...

A proof of the q, t-Catalan positivity conjecture
We present here a proof that a certain rational function Cn(q, t) which has come to be known as the "q, t-Catalan" is in fact a polynomial with positive integer coeffici...

Counting lattice vectors
We consider the problem of counting the number of lattice vectors of a given length and prove several results regarding its computational complexity. We show that the problem is â™...

More Forbidden Minors for Wye-Delta-Wye Reducibility
A graph is Y Y reducible if it can be reduced to isolated vertices by a sequence of series-parallel reductions and Y Y transformations. It is still an open problem to characterize...

On Perfect Completeness for QMA
Whether the class QMA (Quantum Merlin Arthur) is equal to QMA1, or QMA with onesided error, has been an open problem for years. This note helps to explain why the problem is diffi...

Quasi-randomness and the distribution of copies of a fixed graph
We show that if a graph G has the property that all subsets of vertices of size n/4 contain the "correct" number of triangles one would expect to find in a random graph ...

The capacity region of a class of broadcast channels with a sequence of less noisy receivers
The capacity region of a broadcast channel consisting of k-receivers that lie in a less noisy sequence is an open problem, when k 3. We prove that superposition coding is indeed ...

Recognizing Plan/Goal Abandonment
The ability to recognize when an agent abandons a plan is an open problem in the plan recognition literature and is a significant problem if these methods are to be applied in rea...

The Rectangle Enclosure and Point-Dominance Problems Revisited
We consider the problem of reporting the pairwise enclosures in a set of n axesparallel rectangles in IR2, which is equivalent to reporting dominance pairs in a set of n points in...
