A system of linear equations in p unknowns Mx = b is said to have the removal property if every set S ⊆ {1, . . . , n} which contains o(np− ) solutions of Mx = b can be turned...
The degree of a CSP instance is the maximum number of times that a variable may appear in the scope of constraints. We consider the approximate counting problem for Boolean CSPs wi...

Submodular-function maximization is a central problem in combinatorial optimization, generalizing many important NP-hard problems including Max Cut in digraphs, graphs and hypergr...
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
Abstract-- When monitoring interactions within a social network, meetings or contacts between different members of the network are recorded. This paper addresses the problem of usi...
