The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDDs) are a data structure for Boolean functions which supports many useful operations. It finds applications in CAD, model checking, and symbol...
