We show that, assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, it is NPhard to approximate MAX 2-SAT within LLZ + , where 0.9401 < LLZ < 0.9402 is the believed approximation ratio of t...
For more than 35 years, the fastest known method for integer multiplication has been the Sch?onhage-Strassen algorithm running in time O(n log n log log n). Under certain restricti...
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...
Life science laboratories today have to rely on procedural techniques to store and manage large sequence datasets. Procedural techniques are cumbersome to use and are often very i...
We demonstrate a novel query interface that enables users to construct a rich search query without any prior knowledge of the underlying schema or data. The interface, which is in...
