We initiate the study of algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems with ML oracle advice. We introduce two models of advice and then design approximation algorithms for Max Cut, Max $2$-Lin, and Max $3$-Lin in these models. In…
In this paper, we extend the Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT) problem to {\L}ukasiewicz logic. The MaxSAT problem for a set of formulae {\Phi} is the problem of finding an assignment to the variables in {\Phi} that satisfies the maximum…
We study how good a lexicographically maximal solution is in the weighted matching and matroid intersection problems. A solution is lexicographically maximal if it takes as many heaviest elements as possible, and subject to this, it takes…
The problem of solving linear systems is one of the most fundamental problems in computer science, where given a satisfiable linear system $(A,b)$, for $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ and $b \in \mathbb{R}^n$, we wish to find a vector $x…
In this manuscript we provide an exact solution to the maxmin problem max ||Ax|| subject to ||Bx||<= 1, where A and B are real matrices. This problem comes from a remodeling of max ||Ax|| subject to min ||Bx||, because the latter problem…
Our model is a generalized linear programming relaxation of a much studied random K-SAT problem. Specifically, a set of linear constraints C on K variables is fixed. From a pool of n variables, K variables are chosen uniformly at random and…
We study the transients of linear max-plus dynamical systems. For that, we consider for each irreducible max-plus matrix A, the weighted graph G(A) such that A is the adjacency matrix of G(A). Based on a novel graph-theoretic counterpart to…
Linear arrangements of graphs are a well-known type of graph labeling and are found in many important computational problems, such as the Minimum Linear Arrangement Problem ($\texttt{minLA}$). A linear arrangement is usually defined as a…
This work discusses the reachability analysis (RA) of Max-Plus Linear (MPL) systems, a class of continuous-space, discrete-event models defined over the max-plus algebra. Given the initial and target sets, we develop algorithms to verify…
We study the max-min fair allocation problem in which a set of $m$ indivisible items are to be distributed among $n$ agents such that the minimum utility among all agents is maximized. In the restricted setting, the utility of each item $j$…
The paper considers the problem of out-of-sample risk estimation under the high dimensional settings where standard techniques such as $K$-fold cross validation suffer from large biases. Motivated by the low bias of the leave-one-out cross…
This paper introduces the abstraction of max-plus linear (MPL) systems via predicates. Predicates are automatically selected from system matrix, as well as from the specifications under consideration. We focus on verifying time-difference…
The class $(r,2)$-CSP, or simply Max 2-CSP, consists of constraint satisfaction problems with at most two $r$-valued variables per clause. For instances with $n$ variables and $m$ binary clauses, we present an $O(n r^{5+19m/100})$-time…
A pair of unit clauses is called conflicting if it is of the form $(x)$, $(\bar{x})$. A CNF formula is unit-conflict free (UCF) if it contains no pair of conflicting unit clauses. Lieberherr and Specker (J. ACM 28, 1981) showed that for…
We here study Max Hamming XSAT, ie, the problem of finding two XSAT models at maximum Hamming distance. By using a recent XSAT solver as an auxiliary function, an O(1.911^n) time algorithm can be constructed, where n is the number of…
In this paper we study the {\it bilinear assignment problem} (BAP) with size parameters $m$ and $n$, $m\leq n$. BAP is a generalization of the well known quadratic assignment problem and the three dimensional assignment problem and hence…
Given a 2-SAT formula $F$ consisting of $n$ variables and $\cn$ random clauses, what is the largest number of clauses $\max F$ satisfiable by a single assignment of the variables? We bound the answer away from the trivial bounds of…
Given a linear unknown system with $m$ inputs, $p$ outputs, $n$ dimensional state vector, and $q$ dimensional ecosystem, the problem of the adaptive optimal output regulation of this system boils down to iteratively solving a set of linear…
We derive closed formulas for the condition number of a linear function of the total least squares solution. Given an over determined linear system Ax=b, we show that this condition number can be computed using the singular values and the…
Factor graph of an instance of a constraint satisfaction problem with n variables and m constraints is the bipartite graph between [m] and [n] describing which variable appears in which constraints. Thus, an instance of a CSP is completely…
