Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...
We prove that the weighted monotone circuit satisfiability problem has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with constant or polylogarithmic approximation ratio un...
Assume that two points p and q are given and a finite ordered set of simple polygons, all in the same plane; the basic version of a touring-a-sequence-of-polygons problem (TPP) is...
With the development of more expressive description logics (DLs) for the Web Ontology Language OWL the question arises how we can properly deal with the high computational complexi...
