Connections in Networks: Hardness of Feasibility Versus Optimality
We study the complexity of combinatorial problems that consist of competing infeasibility and optimization components. In particular, we investigate the complexity of the connectio...

Representing hard lattices with O(n log n) bits
We present a variant of the Ajtai-Dwork public-key cryptosystem where the size of the public-key is only O(n log n) bits and the encrypted text/clear text ratio is also O(n log n)...

On the Hardness of Being Truthful
The central problem in computational mechanism design is the tension between incentive compatibility and computational ef ciency. We establish the rst significant approximability ...

Alternative techniques to solve hard multi-objective optimization problems
In this paper, we propose the combination of different optimization techniques in order to solve “hard” two- and threeobjective optimization problems at a relatively low comp...

True costs of cheap labor are hard to measure: edge deletion and VCG payments in graphs
We address the problem of lowering the buyer’s expected payments in shortest path auctions, where the buyer’s goal is to purchase a path in a graph in which edges are owned by...
