While several classes of integer linear optimization problems are known to be solvable in polynomial time, far fewer tractability results exist for integer nonlinear optimization. In this work, we narrow this gap by identifying a broad…
To provide a dichotomy between those queries that can be made feasible on big data after appropriate preprocessing and those for which preprocessing does not help, Fan et al. developed the $\sqcap$-tractability theory. This theory provides…
Given an ideal $I$ and a polynomial $f$ the Ideal Membership Problem is to test if $f\in I$. This problem is a fundamental algorithmic problem with important applications and notoriously intractable. We study the complexity of the Ideal…
We study constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) in the presence of counting quantifiers $\exists^{\geq j}$, asserting the existence of $j$ distinct witnesses for the variable in question. As a continuation of our previous (CSR 2012) paper,…
For a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), a robust satisfaction algorithm is one that outputs an assignment satisfying most of the constraints on instances that are near-satisfiable. It is known that the CSPs that admit efficient robust…

We classify the complexity of the satisfiability problem for extensions of CTL and UB. The extensions we consider are Boolean combinations of path formulas, fairness properties, past modalities, and forgettable past. Our main result shows…
Query evaluation on probabilistic databases is generally intractable (#P-hard). Existing dichotomy results have identified which queries are tractable (or safe), and connected them to tractable lineages. In our previous work, using…
