In the CLOSEST SUBSTRING problem k strings s1, ..., sk are given, and the task is to find a string s of length L such that each string si has a consecutive substring of length L ...
We continue the recent line of work on the connection between semidefinite programming-based approximation algorithms and the Unique Games Conjecture. Given any boolean 2-CSP (or...
The cut-norm ||A||C of a real matrix A = (aij)iR,jS is the maximum, over all I R, J S of the quantity | iI,jJ aij|. This concept plays a major role in the design of efficient app...
