Connections in Networks: Hardness of Feasibility Versus Optimality
We study the complexity of combinatorial problems that consist of competing infeasibility and optimization components. In particular, we investigate the complexity of the connectio...

A General Framework for Designing Approximation Schemes for Combinatorial Optimization Problems with Many Objectives Combined in
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a general framework for designing fully polynomial time approximation schemes for combinatorial optimization problems, in which more than one ob...

On the Hardness of Being Truthful
The central problem in computational mechanism design is the tension between incentive compatibility and computational ef ciency. We establish the rst significant approximability ...

Trapdoors for Hard Lattices and New Cryptographic Constructions
We show how to construct a variety of “trapdoor” cryptographic tools assuming the worst-case hardness of standard lattice problems (such as approximating the length of the sho...
