We demonstrate an average-case problem that is as hard as finding (n)-approximate shortest vectors in certain n-dimensional lattices in the worst case, where (n) = O( log n). The...
In the MINIMUM BOUNDED DEGREE SPANNING TREE problem, we are given an undirected graph with a degree upper bound Bv on each vertex v, and the task is to find a spanning tree of min...
Many approximation algorithms have been presented in the last decades for hard search problems. The focus of this paper is on cryptographic applications, where it is desired to de...
We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number of pairs t...

In this paper we consider bounded real-valued functions over the discrete cube, f : {-1, 1}n [-1, 1]. Such functions arise naturally in theoretical computer science, combinatorics...
