In the Max $r$-SAT problem, the input is a CNF formula with $n$ variables where each clause is a disjunction of at most $r$ literals. The objective is to compute an assignment which satisfies as many of the clauses as possible. While there…

We present a simple sublinear time algorithm for testing the following geometric property. Let $P_1, ..., P_n$ be $n$ convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($n \gg d$), such as polytopes, balls, etc. We assume that the complexity of each set…

In this paper, we provide an algorithm for verifying the validity of identities of the form $\underset{A\subseteq\overline{n}}{\sum}c_{A}\left\Vert x_{A}\right\Vert ^{2}=0$, where $x_{A}=\underset{i\in A}{\sum}x_{i}$ and…

We investigate the question whether Subset Sum can be solved by a polynomial-time algorithm with access to a certificate of length poly(k) where k is the maximal number of bits in an input number. In other words, can it be solved using only…

In the Equal-Subset-Sum problem, we are given a set $S$ of $n$ integers and the problem is to decide if there exist two disjoint nonempty subsets $A,B \subseteq S$, whose elements sum up to the same value. The problem is NP-complete. The…
