We claimed that there is a polynomial algorithm to test if two graphs are isomorphic. But the algorithm is wrong. It only tests if the adjacency matrices of two graphs have the same eigenvalues. There is a counterexample of two…

We study the computational complexity of fundamental problems over the $p$-adic numbers ${\mathbb Q}_p$ and the $p$-adic integers ${\mathbb Z}_p$. Gu\'epin, Haase, and Worrell proved that checking satisfiability of systems of linear…
Given a multiset $A = \{a_1, \dots, a_n\}$ of positive integers and a target integer $t$, the Subset Sum problem asks if there is a subset of $A$ that sums to $t$. Bellman's [1957] classical dynamic programming algorithm runs in $O(nt)$…
It is well known that the most challenging question in optimization and discrete geometry is whether there is a strongly polynomial time simplex algorithm for linear programs (LPs). This paper gives a positive answer to this question by…

Set Cover is a classic NP-hard problem; as shown by Slav\'{i}k (1997) the greedy algorithm gives an approximation ratio of $\ln n - \ln \ln n + \Theta(1)$. A series of works by Lund \& Yannakakis (1994), Feige (1998), Moshkovitz (2015) have…
