Generalized hypertree decompositions: np-hardness and tractable variants
The generalized hypertree width GHW(H) of a hypergraph H is a measure of its cyclicity. Classes of conjunctive queries or constraint satisfaction problems whose associated hypergr...

Towards a theory for securing time synchronization in wireless sensor networks
Time synchronization in highly distributed wireless systems like sensor and ad hoc networks is extremely important in order to maintain a consistent notion of time throughout the ...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...

Learning to satisfy
This paper investigates a class of learning problems called learning satisfiability (LSAT) problems, where the goal is to learn a set in the input (feature) space that satisfies...

The Complexity of Acyclic Conjunctive Queries
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
