Probabilistically checkable proofs of proximity (PCPP) are proof systems where the verifier is given a 3SAT formula, but has only oracle access to an assignment and a proof. The verifier accepts a satisfying assignment with a valid proof,…

Multiphase ranking functions ($\mathit{M{\Phi}RFs}$) were proposed as a means to prove the termination of a loop in which the computation progresses through a number of "phases", and the progress of each phase is described by a different…

Given non-negative integers $v, m, n, \alpha, \beta$, the Hamilton-Waterloo problem asks for a factorization of the complete graph $K_v$ into $\alpha$ $C_m$-factors and $\beta$ $C_n$-factors. Clearly, $v$ odd, $n,m\geq 3$, $m\mid v$, $n\mid…

Given a CNF formula $\Phi$ with clauses $C_1,\ldots,C_m$ and variables $V=\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}$, a truth assignment $a:V\rightarrow\{0,1\}$ of $\Phi$ leads to a clause sequence $\sigma_\Phi(a)=(C_1(a),\ldots,C_m(a))\in\{0,1\}^m$ where $C_i(a)…

The Frank-Wolfe algorithm is a popular method for minimizing a smooth convex function $f$ over a compact convex set $\mathcal{C}$. While many convergence results have been derived in terms of function values, hardly nothing is known about…

Let [\theta] denote the integer part and {\theta} the fractional part of the real number \theta. For \theta > 1 and {\theta^{1/n}} \neq 0, define M_{\theta}(n) = [1/{\theta^{1/n}}]. The arithmetic function M_{\theta}(n) is eventually…

While a characterization of unavoidable formulas (without reversal) is well-known, little is known about the avoidability of formulas with reversal in general. In this article, we characterize the unavoidable formulas with reversal that…

In this article, we study the fluctuations of linear eigenvalue statistics of reverse circulant $(RC_n)$ matrices with independent entries which satisfy some moment conditions. We show that $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} \text{Tr} \phi(RC_n)$ obey the…

Toda Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) form a family of 2d CFTs indexed by semisimple and complex Lie algebras. They are natural generalizations of the Liouville CFT in that they enjoy an enhanced level of symmetry encoded by W-algebras.…

A generalized 1-in-3SAT problem is defined and found to be in complexity class P when restricted to a certain subset of CNF expressions. In particular, 1-in-kSAT with no restrictions on the number of literals per clause can be decided in…

The Local Lemma is a fundamental tool of probabilistic combinatorics and theoretical computer science, yet there are hardly any natural problems known where it provides an asymptotically tight answer. The main theme of our paper is to…

Consider the random variable $\mathrm{Tr}( f_1(W)A_1\dots f_k(W)A_k)$ where $W$ is an $N\times N$ Hermitian Wigner matrix, $k\in\mathbb{N}$, and choose (possibly $N$-dependent) regular functions $f_1,\dots, f_k$ as well as bounded…

In 2009, Roeglin and Teng showed that the smoothed number of Pareto optimal solutions of linear multi-criteria optimization problems is polynomially bounded in the number $n$ of variables and the maximum density $\phi$ of the semi-random…

We study $q$-SAT in the multistage model, focusing on the linear-time solvable 2-SAT. Herein, given a sequence of $q$-CNF fomulas and a non-negative integer $d$, the question is whether there is a sequence of satisfying truth assignments…

In the case of one extra dimension, well known Newton's potential $\phi (r_3)=-G_N m/r_3$ is generalized to compact and elegant formula $\phi(r_3,\xi)=-(G_N m/r_3)\sinh(2\pi r_3/a)[\cosh(2\pi r_3/a)-\cos(2\pi\xi/a)]^{-1}$ if…

Decomposable Negation Normal Forms \textsc{dnnf} [Darwiche, 'Decomposable Negation Normal Form', JACM, 2001] is a landmark Knowledge Compilation (\textsc{kc}) model, highly important both in \textsc{ai} and Theoretical Computer Science.…

Different computational techniques for cosmological phase transition parameters can impact the Gravitational Wave (GW) spectra predicted in a given particle physics model. To scrutinize the importance of this effect, we perform large-scale…

It is commonly believed that the normalized gaps between consecutive ordinates $t_n$ of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line can be arbitrarily large. In particular, drawing on analogies with random matrix theory, it…

The PPSZ algorithm by Paturi, Pudl\'ak, Saks, and Zane (FOCS 1998) is the fastest known algorithm for (Promise) Unique k-SAT. We give an improved algorithm with exponentially faster bounds for Unique 3-SAT. For uniquely satisfiable 3-CNF…

We introduce the problem of finding a satisfying assignment to a CNF formula that must further belong to a prescribed input subspace. Equivalent formulations of the problem include finding a point outside a union of subspaces (the…
