We prove an exponential lower bound for tree-like Cutting Planes refutations of a set of clauses which has polynomial size resolution refutations. This implies an exponential sepa...

Distributed Lagrangian Relaxation Protocol (DisLRP) has been proposed to solve a distributed combinatorial maximization problem called the Generalized Mutual Assignment Problem (G...
In the cyclic-to-random shuffle, we are given n cards arranged in a circle. At step k, we exchange the k'th card along the circle with a uniformly chosen random card. The pro...
Abstract. We study some minimum-area hull problems that generalize the notion of convex hull to starshaped and monotone hulls. Specifically, we consider the minimum-area star-shap...

Abstract. We consider the efficient simplification of regular expressions and suggest a quantitative comparison of heuristics for simplifying regular expressions. To this end, we...
