Ruling Out Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is the following computational problem: an instance is a finite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal...

ERA: An Algorithm for Reducing the Epistasis of SAT Problems
A novel method, for solving satisfiability (SAT) instances is presented. It is based on two components: a) An Epistasis Reducer Algorithm (ERA) that produces a more suited represe...

Walrasian Equilibrium: Hardness, Approximations and Tractable Instances
We study the complexity issues for Walrasian equilibrium in a special case of combinatorial auction, called single-minded auction, in which every participant is interested in only ...

: The Design and Analysis of an Algorithm Portfolio for SAT
It has been widely observed that there is no “dominant” SAT solver; instead, different solvers perform best on different instances. Rather than following the traditional appr...

On the Compressibility of NP Instances and Cryptographic Applications
We study compression that preserves the solution to an instance of a problem rather than preserving the instance itself. Our focus is on the compressibility of NP decision problem...
