In the past decade, there has been a stream of work in designing approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-Hard problems. These include the work of Arora, Karger and Karpins...
Many real life optimization problems are defined in terms of both hard and soft constraints, and qualitative conditional preferences. However, there is as yet no single framework f...

We investigate the computational hardness of the Connectivity, the Strong Connectivity and the Broadcast type of Range Assignment Problems in R2 and R3. We present new reductions ...
We present an efficient reduction mapping undirected graphs G with n = 2k vertices for integers k to tables of partially specified Boolean functions g : {0, 1}4k+1 {0, 1, } so tha...
We show how to construct a variety of “trapdoor” cryptographic tools assuming the worst-case hardness of standard lattice problems (such as approximating the length of the sho...
