The Shub-Smale Tau Conjecture is a hypothesis relating the number of integral roots of a polynomial f in one variable and the Straight-Line Program (SLP) complexity of f. A consequence of the truth of this conjecture is that, for the Blum-Shub-Smale model over the complex numbers, P differs from NP. We prove two weak v...

Unfortunately, not much more is known than (a) @math is usually'' bounded below by @math (where @math is @math and...

We now have a set of @math layers of @math variables: @math .

Cybercrime markets support the development and diffusion of new attack technologies, vulnerability exploits, and malware. Whereas the revenue streams of cyber attackers have been studied multiple times in the literature, no quantitative account currently exists on the economics of attack acquisition and deployment. Yet...

Non-linear, especially convex, objective functions have been extensively studied in recent years in which approaches relies crucially on the convexity property of cost functions. In this paper, we present primal-dual approaches based on configuration linear programs to design competitive online algorithms for problems ...
In this paper, we systematically strengthen natural LPs by the construction of the configuration LPs presented in @cite_15 . propose a scheme that consists of solving the new LPs (with exponential number of variables) and rounding the fractional solutions to integer ones using decoupling inequalities. By this method, t...

Convolution Neural Networks on Graphs are important generalization and extension of classical CNNs. While previous works generally assumed that the graph structures of samples are regular with unified dimensions, in many applications, they are highly diverse or even not well defined.

Besides above papers on constructing convolution layer on graphs, many others studied the problem from a different angle. @cite_31 first investigated learning a network from a set of heterogeneous graphs to predict node-level feature as well as to do graph completion, although it is based on node sequence selection. @c...

We study the problem of coalitional manipulation---where @math manipulators try to manipulate an election on @math candidates---under general scoring rules, with a focus on the Borda protocol. We do so both in the weighted and unweighted settings. We focus on minimizing the maximum score obtainable by a non-preferred c...
The computational complexity of coalitional manipulation problems was studied extensively. For general scoring rules @math , most earlier work considered the case where the number of candidates is bounded: Conitzer at al. @cite_1 show that when @math is bounded, @math -UCM is solvable in polynomial time.

In the weighted case, the situation is different: for all positional scoring rules @math , except plurality-like rules, @math -WCM is @math -hard when @math @cite_1 @cite_19 @cite_3 . In particular, this holds for Borda-WCM. However, the computational hardness of Borda-UCM still remained open for quite some time, until...

@cite_10 present two additional heuristics: iteratively, assign the largest un-allocated score to the candidate with the largest gap (), or to the candidate with the largest ratio of gap divided by the number of scores yet-to-be-allocated to this candidate ().
