Hardness of routing with congestion in directed graphs
Given as input a directed graph on N vertices and a set of source-destination pairs, we study the problem of routing the maximum possible number of source-destination pairs on pat...

Backbone Fragility and the Local Search Cost Peak
The local search algorithm WSat is one of the most successful algorithms for solving the satisfiability (SAT) problem. It is notably effective at solving hard Random 3-SAT instanc...

Hiding Satisfying Assignments: Two Are Better than One
The evaluation of incomplete satisfiability solvers depends critically on the availability of hard satisfiable instances. A plausible source of such instances consists of random k...

Redundancy in Random SAT Formulas
The random k-SAT model is extensively used to compare satisfiability algorithms or to find the best settings for the parameters of some algorithm. Conclusions are derived from the...

Performance Prediction and Automated Tuning of Randomized and Parametric Algorithms
Abstract. Machine learning can be utilized to build models that predict the runtime of search algorithms for hard combinatorial problems. Such empirical hardness models have previo...
