Let $G$ be any $n$-vertex graph whose random walk matrix has its nontrivial eigenvalues bounded in magnitude by $1/sqrt{Delta}$ (for example, a random graph $G$ of average degree~$Theta(Delta)$ typically has this property). We show that the $expBig(c frac{log n}{log Delta}Big)$-round Sherali--Adams linear programming hierarchy certifies that the maximum cut in such a~$G$ is at most $50.1%$ (in fact, at most $tfrac12 + 2^{-Omega(c)}$). For example, in random graphs with $n^{1.01}$ edges, $O(1)$ rounds suffice; in random graphs with $n cdot text{polylog}(n)$ edges, $n^{O(1/log log n)} = n^{o(1)}$ rounds suffice. Our results stand in contrast to the conventional beliefs that linear programming hierarchies perform poorly for maxcut and other CSPs, and that eigenvalue/SDP methods are needed for effective refutation. Indeed, our results imply that constant-round Sherali--Adams can strongly refute random Boolean $k$-CSP instances with $n^{lceil k/2 rceil + delta}$ constraints; previously this had only been done with spectral algorithms or the SOS SDP hierarchy.
Given a pair of graphs $textbf{A}$ and $textbf{B}$, the problems of deciding whether there exists either a homomorphism or an isomorphism from $textbf{A}$ to $textbf{B}$ have received a lot of attention. While graph homomorphism is known to be NP-com
In the classical Online Metric Matching problem, we are given a metric space with $k$ servers. A collection of clients arrive in an online fashion, and upon arrival, a client should irrevocably be matched to an as-yet-unmatched server. The goal is to
In this short presentation I emphasize the increased importance of kaon flavour physics in the search for new physics (NP) that we should witness in the rest of this decade and in the next decade. The main actors will be the branching ratios for the
This paper studies new properties of the front and back ends of a sorting network, and illustrates the utility of these in the search for new bounds on optimal sorting networks. Search focuses first on the outsides of the network and then on the inne
In the conventional view of type II migration, a giant planet migrates inward in the viscous velocity of the accretion disc in the so-call disc-dominate case. Recent hydrodynamic simulations, however, showed that planets migrate with velocities much
