While 3-SAT is NP-hard, 2-SAT is solvable in polynomial time. Austrin, Guruswami, and H\r{a}stad roved a result known as "$(2+\varepsilon)$-SAT is NP-hard" [FOCS'14/SICOMP'17]. They showed that the problem of distinguishing k-CNF formulas…

We study generalized complex Monge-Amp\`ere type equations on closed Hermitian manifolds. We derive {\em a priori} estimates and then prove the existence of admissible solutions. Moreover, the gradient estimate is improved.

Valued constraint satisfaction problems (VCSPs) constitute a large class of computational optimization problems. It was shown recently that, over finite domains, every VCSP is in P or NP-complete, depending on the admitted cost functions.…

The vulnerability of an isolated network to cascades is fundamentally affected by its interactions with other networks. Motivated by failures cascading among electrical grids, we study the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld sandpile model on two…

Let G = (V, E) be a directed acyclic graph with two distinguished vertices s, t and let F be a set of forbidden pairs of vertices. We say that a path in G is safe, if it contains at most one vertex from each pair {u, v} in F. Given G and F,…
