On Percolation and NP-Hardness. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The edge-percolation and vertex-percolation random graph models start with an arbitrary graph G, and randomly delete edges or vertices of G with some fixed probability. We study the computational hardness of problems whose inputs are obtained by applying percolation to worst-case instances.

Stable marriage with incomplete lists and ties [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The original stable marriage problem requires all men and women to submit a complete and strictly ordered preference list. This is obviously often unrealistic in practice, and several relaxations have been proposed, including the following two common ...

Wordle is NP-hard

open access: yesCoRR, 2022
Wordle is a single-player word-guessing game where the goal is to discover a secret word $w$ that has been chosen from a dictionary $D$. In order to discover $w$, the player can make at most $\ell$ guesses, which must also be words from $D$, all words in $D$ having the same length $k$.

Trainyard is NP-Hard [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretical Computer Science, 2018
Recently, due to the widespread diffusion of smart-phones, mobile puzzle games have experienced a huge increase in their popularity. A successful puzzle has to be both captivating and challenging, and it has been suggested that this features are somehow related to their computational complexity \cite{Eppstein}.

Automating Resolution is NP-Hard [PDF]

open access: yes2019 IEEE 60th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS), 2019
We show that the problem of finding a Resolution refutation that is at most polynomially longer than a shortest one is NP-hard. In the parlance of proof complexity, Resolution is not automatable unless P = NP. Indeed, we show that it is NP-hard to distinguish between formulas that have Resolution refutations of polynomial length and those that do not ...

INFLATING BALLS IS NP-HARD [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computational Geometry & Applications, 2011
A collection [Formula: see text] of balls in ℝd is δ-inflatable if it is isometric to the intersection [Formula: see text] of some d-dimensional affine subspace E with a collection [Formula: see text] of (d + δ)-dimensional balls that are disjoint and have equal radius.

Clifford Circuits can be Properly PAC Learned if and only if $\textsf{RP}=\textsf{NP}$ [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum, 2023

Terrain Guarding is NP-Hard [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Computing, 2010
Summary: A set \(G\) of points on a terrain, also known as an \(x\)-monotone polygonal chain, is said to guard the terrain if every point on the terrain is seen by a point in \(G\). Two points on the terrain see each other if and only if the line segment between them is never strictly below the terrain.

NP-Hardness of the Problem of Optimal Box Positioning

open access: yesMathematics, 2019
We consider the problem of finding a position of a d-dimensional box with given edge lengths that maximizes the number of enclosed points of the given finite set P ⊂ R d , i.e., the problem of optimal box positioning.
