An Empirical Study of QBF Encodings: from Treewidth Estimation to Useful Preprocessing
From an empirical point of view, the hardness of quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs), can be characterized by the (in)ability of current state-of-the-art QBF solvers to decide abo...

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 ...

Hardness of the Covering Radius Problem on Lattices
We provide the first hardness result for the Covering Radius Problem on lattices (CRP). Namely, we show that for any large enough p there exists a constant cp > 1 such that C...

Towards Sharp Inapproximability For Any 2-CSP
We continue the recent line of work on the connection between semidefinite programming-based approximation algorithms and the Unique Games Conjecture. Given any boolean 2-CSP (or...

Constant Ratio Fixed-Parameter Approximation of the Edge Multicut Problem
Abstract. The input of the Edge Multicut problem consists of an undirected graph G and pairs of terminals {s1, t1}, . . . , {sm, tm}; the task is to remove a minimum set of edges s...
