Logarithmic hardness of the directed congestion minimization problem
We show that for any constant ε > 0, there is no Ω(log1−ε M)approximation algorithm for the directed congestion minimization problem on networks of size M unless NP ⊆ Z...

A Unifying Approach to Hard and Probabilistic Clustering
We derive the clustering problem from first principles showing that the goal of achieving a probabilistic, or ”hard”, multi class clustering result is equivalent to the algeb...

Approximate Compilation for Embedded Model-based Reasoning
The use of embedded technology has become widespread. Many complex engineered systems comprise embedded features to perform self-diagnosis or self-reconfiguration. These features ...

Hardness of Minimizing and Learning DNF Expressions
We study the problem of finding the minimum size DNF formula for a function f : {0, 1}d → {0, 1} given its truth table. We show that unless NP ⊆ DTIME(npoly(log n) ), there i...

A new multilayered PCP and the hardness of hypergraph vertex cover
Given a k-uniform hypergraph, the Ek-Vertex-Cover problem is to find the smallest subset of vertices that intersects every hyperedge. We present a new multilayered PCP constructi...
