Unbounded SubsetSum is a classical textbook problem: given integers $w_1,w_2,\cdots,w_n\in [1,u],~c,u$, we need to find if there exists $m_1,m_2,\cdots,m_n\in \mathbb{N}$ satisfying $c=\sum_{i=1}^n w_im_i$. In its all-target version, $t\in…

We present a general approach to rounding semidefinite programming relaxations obtained by the Sum-of-Squares method (Lasserre hierarchy). Our approach is based on using the connection between these relaxations and the Sum-of-Squares proof…

As one of the three main pillars of fine-grained complexity theory, the 3SUM problem explains the hardness of many diverse polynomial-time problems via fine-grained reductions. Many of these reductions are either directly based on or…
