We present a method for proving rigid first order theorems by encoding them as propositional satisfiability problems. We encode the existence of a first order connection tableau an...

Semidefinite programs (SDP) have been used in many recent approximation algorithms. We develop a general primal-dual approach to solve SDPs using a generalization of the well-know...
We consider the problem of approximately counting integral flows in a network. We show that there is an fpras based on volume estimation if all capacities are sufficiently large, ...
The problem of finding a local minimum of a black-box function is central for understanding local search as well as quantum adiabatic algorithms. For functions on the Boolean hype...
A fundamental problem of distributed computing is that of simulating a secure broadcast channel, within the setting of a point-to-point network. This problem is known as Byzantine...
