Manipulating MDD Relaxations for Combinatorial Optimization
Abstract. We study the application of limited-width MDDs (multivalued decision diagrams) as discrete relaxations for combinatorial optimization problems. These relaxations are used...

Deterministic construction of an approximate M-ellipsoid and its applications to derandomizing lattice algorithms
We give a deterministic O(log n)n -time and space algorithm for the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) of a lattice under any norm, improving on the previous best deterministic nO(n) -...

Crozzle: an NP-complete problem
At the 1996 Symposium on Applied Computing, it was argued that the R-by-C Crozzle problem was NP-Hard, but not in NP. The original Crozzle problem is a word puzzle that appears, w...

Complexity of Approximating Closest Substring Problems
The closest substring problem, where a short string is sought that minimizes the number of mismatches between it and each of a given set of strings, is a minimization problem with ...
