Given a set of n strings of length L and a radius d, the closest string problem (CSP for short) asks for a string tsol that is within a Hamming distance of d to each of the given ...
The one-dimensional functional equation g(y(t)) = cg(z(t)) with known functions y and z and constant c is considered. The indeterminacies are calculated, and an algorithm for appro...
This paper addresses the problem of testing whether a Boolean-valued function f is a halfspace, i.e. a function of the form f(x) = sgn(w·x−θ). We consider halfspaces over the ...

We study integrality gaps for SDP relaxations of constraint satisfaction problems, in the hierarchy of SDPs defined by Lasserre. Schoenebeck [25] recently showed the first integra...
Variable selection consists in identifying a k-subset of a set of original variables that is optimal for a given criterion of adequate approximation to the whole data set. Several...
