Proof Verification and Hardness of Approximation Problems
The class PCP(f(n), g(n)) consists of all languages L for which there exists a polynomial-time probabilistic oracle machine that uses O(f(n)) random bits, queries O(g(n)) bits of ...

Approximate Probabilistic Constraints and Risk-Sensitive Optimization Criteria in Markov Decision Processes
The majority of the work in the area of Markov decision processes has focused on expected values of rewards in the objective function and expected costs in the constraints. Althou...

Materializing views with minimal size to answer queries
In this paper we study the following problem. Given a database and a set of queries, we want to find, in advance, a set of views that can compute the answers to the queries, such ...

Filtering Algorithms for the NValue Constraint
Abstract. The NValue constraint counts the number of different values assigned to a vector of variables. Propagating generalized arc consistency on this constraint is NP-hard. We ...
