1. Beating a Random Assignment : Approximating Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Sammanfattning : An instance of a Boolean constraint satisfaction problem, CSP, consists of a set of constraints acting over a set of Boolean variables. The objective is to find an assignment to the variables that satisfies all the constraints. LÄS MER
2. Constructing Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction and Related Problems : Methods and Applications
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we will discuss the construction of algorithms for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs), and describe two new ways of approaching them. Both approaches are based on the idea that it is sometimes faster to solve a large number of restricted problems than a single, large, problem. LÄS MER
3. Hardness of Constraint Satisfaction and Hypergraph Coloring : Constructions of Probabilistically Checkable Proofs with Perfect Completeness
Sammanfattning : A Probabilistically Checkable Proof (PCP) of a mathematical statement is a proof written in a special manner that allows for efficient probabilistic verification. The celebrated PCP Theorem states that for every family of statements in NP, there is a probabilistic verification procedure that checks the validity of a PCP proof by reading only 3 bits from it.

4. Label Cover Reductions for Unconditional Approximation Hardness of Constraint Satisfaction
Sammanfattning : Combinatorial optimization include such tasks as finding the quickest route to work, scheduling jobs to specialists, and placing bus stops so as to minimize commuter times. We consider problems where one is given a collection of constraints with the objective of finding an assignment satisfying as many constraints as possible, also known as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs).

5. Label Cover Reductions for Unconditional Approximation Hardness of Constraint Satisfaction
Sammanfattning : Problem solving is an integral aspect of modern society and includes such tasks as picking the fastest route to work, optimizing a production line, scheduling computer tasks, placing new bus stops, or picking a meal from available ingredients.We study the hardness of solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs).
