SSP reductions are a type of polynomial reductions that also preserve the solutions of the instances. This means there is a mapping from each solution in the original instance to one in the reduced instance, allowing direct deduction of an…
The website reductions.network serves as a comprehensive database for exploring problems and reductions between them. It presents several complexity classes in the form of an interconnected graph where problems are represented as vertices,…
In this paper, we define the reoptimization variant of the closest substring problem (CSP) under sequence addition. We show that, even with the additional information we have about the problem instance, the problem of finding a closest…
The Set Cover Problem (SCP) and the Hitting Set Problem (HSP) are well-studied optimization problems. In this paper we introduce the Reward-Penalty-Selection Problem (RPSP) which can be understood as a combination of the SCP and the HSP…
The Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem is well-known for the challenges in developing fast, practical, and work-efficient parallel algorithms. This work introduces a novel shortest path search method. It allows paths with different…
The subset sum problem is one of the simplest and most fundamental NP-hard problems in combinatorial optimization. We consider two extensions of this problem: The subset sum problem with digraph constraint (SSG) and subset sum problem with…
A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a computational problem where the input consists of a finite set of variables and a finite set of constraints, and where the task is to decide whether there exists a satisfying assignment of values…
We introduce a problem class we call Polynomial Constraint Satisfaction Problems, or PCSP. Where the usual CSPs from computer science and optimization have real-valued score functions, and partition functions from physics have monomials,…
Despite persistent efforts, there is no known technique for obtaining unconditional super-linear lower bounds for the computational complexity of the problems in P. Vassilevska Williams and Williams introduce a fruitful approach to advance…
We consider the stochastic shortest path (SSP) problem for succinct Markov decision processes (MDPs), where the MDP consists of a set of variables, and a set of nondeterministic rules that update the variables. First, we show that several…
In this paper, we study the parameterized complexity of local search, whose goal is to find a good nearby solution from the given current solution. Formally, given an optimization problem where the goal is to find the largest feasible…
The Set Cover problem (SCP) and Set Packing problem (SPP) are standard NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. Their decision problem versions are shown to be NP-Complete in Karp's 1972 paper. We specify a rough guide to constructing…
We consider a class of iterative numerical methods and introduce the notion of semiglobally, practically, strictly pseudogradient (SPSP) search directions. We demonstrate the relevance of the SPSP property in modelling a variety of…
The Minimum Set Cover Problem (MSCP) is a classical NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem with numerous applications in science and engineering. Although a wide range of exact, approximate, and metaheuristic approaches have been…
Feature subset selection, as a special case of the general subset selection problem, has been the topic of a considerable number of studies due to the growing importance of data-mining applications. In the feature subset selection problem…
We study geometric variations of the discriminating code problem. In the \emph{discrete version} of the problem, a finite set of points $P$ and a finite set of objects $S$ are given in $\mathbb{R}^d$. The objective is to choose a subset…
In many real-world problems, we are dealing with collections of high-dimensional data, such as images, videos, text and web documents, DNA microarray data, and more. Often, high-dimensional data lie close to low-dimensional structures…
The Shortest-Path Problem in Graph of Convex Sets (SPP in GCS) is a recently developed optimization framework that blends discrete and continuous decision making. Many relevant problems in robotics, such as collision-free motion planning,…
The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a computational problem that includes a range of important problems in computer science. We point out that fundamental concepts of the CSP, such as the solution set of an instance and…
This paper describes an extension to the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) called MUSE CSP (MUltiply SEgmented Constraint Satisfaction Problem). This extension is especially useful for those problems which segment into multiple sets of…
