On the Power of Isolation in Planar Structures

The purpose of this paper is to study the deterministic
{\em isolation} for certain structures in directed and undirected
planar graphs.
The motivation behind this work is a recent development on this topic. For example, \cite{btv07} isolate a directed path in planar graphs and
\cite{dkr08} isolate a perfect matching in ... more >>>

Strong Hardness Preserving Reduction from a P-Samplable Distribution to the Uniform Distribution for NP-Search Problems

Impagliazzo and Levin demonstrated [IL90] that the average-case hardness of any NP-search problem under any P-samplable distribution implies that of another NP-search problem under the uniform distribution. For this they developed a way to define a reduction from an NP-search problem F with ``mild hardness'' under any P-samplable distribution H; ... more >>>

Inseparability and Strong Hypotheses for Disjoint NP Pairs

Revisions: 1

This paper investigates the existence of inseparable disjoint
pairs of NP languages and related strong hypotheses in
computational complexity. Our main theorem says that, if NP does
not have measure 0 in EXP, then there exist disjoint pairs of NP
languages that are P-inseparable, in fact TIME(2^(n^k)-inseparable.
We also relate ... more >>>
