We consider the classical vertex cover and set cover problems with the addition of hard capacity constraints. This means that a set (vertex) can only cover a limited number of its...
This paper connects two fundamental ideas from theoretical computer science: hard-core set construction, a type of hardness amplification from computational complexity, and boosti...
Abstract. In this article we introduce (combinatorial) multi{color discrepancy and generalize some classical results from 2{color discrepancy theory to ccolors. We give a recursive...
As Dag Normann has recently shown, the fully abstract model for PCF of hereditarily sequential functionals is not -complete and therefore not continuous in the traditional terminol...
Motivated by several applications, we introduce various distance measures between “top k lists.” Some of these distance measures are metrics, while others are not. For each of...
