Optimal Inapproximability Results for Max-Cut and Other 2-Variable CSPs?
In this paper we show a reduction from the Unique Games problem to the problem of approximating MAX-CUT to within a factor of GW + , for all > 0; here GW .878567 denotes the a...

Probabilistic I/O Automata: Theories of Two Equivalences
Working in the context of a process-algebraic language for Probabilistic I/O Automata (PIOA), we study the notion of PIOA behavior equivalence by obtaining a complete axiomatizatio...

Hardness of Approximating the Shortest Vector Problem in Lattices
Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...

Probability and Nondeterminism in Operational Models of Concurrency
We give a brief overview of operational models for concurrent systems that exhibit probabilistic behavior, focussing on the interplay between probability and nondeterminism. Our su...
