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...

On Quadratic Threshold CSPs
A predicate P : {−1, 1}k → {0, 1} can be associated with a constraint satisfaction problem Max CSP(P). P is called “approximation resistant” if Max CSP(P) cannot be approxi...

OPTIMISTA: state minimization of asynchronous FSMs for optimum output logic
The optimal state minimization problem is to select a reduced state machine having the best logic implementation over all possible state reductions and encodings. A recent algorit...

Evolutionary design of single-mode microstructured polymer optical fibres using an artificial embryogeny representation
Polymer microstructured optical fibres are a relatively recent development in optical fibre technology, supporting a wide variety of microstructure fibre geometries, when compared...

The PCP theorem by gap amplification
The PCP theorem [3, 2] says that every language in NP has a witness format that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a constant number of bits from the proof. The cele...
