چکیده
In Leture 18, we have talked about Linear Programming (LP). LP refers to the following problem. We are given an input of the following m constraints (inequalities):

When variables of constraints of an 0−1 Integer Linear Program (ILP) is replaced by a weaker constraint such that each variable belongs to the interval [0, 1] (i.e. decimal) instead of fixed values {0, 1} (integers); then this relaxation generates a new Linear Programming problem. For example, the constraint xi ∈ {0, 1} becomes 0 ≤ xi ≤ 1. This relaxation technique is useful to convert an NP-ha...

At a big conference in Wisconsin in 1948 with many famous economists and mathematicians, George Dantzig gave a talk related to linear programming. When the talk was over and it was time for questions, Harold Hotelling raised his hand in objection and said “But we all know the world is nonlinear,” and then he sat down. John von Neumann replied on Dantzig’s behalf “The speaker titled his talk ‘li...

This lecture is about hardness and computational problems that seem hard. Almost all of the theory of hardness is based on assumptions. We make assumptions about some problems, then we do reductions from one problem to another. Then, we want to make the minimal number of assumptions necessary to show computational hardness. In fact, all work on computational complexity and hardness is essential...

First let’s make sure this is actually a relaxation of our original problem. To see this, consider an optimal cut F ∗ : V → {1,−1}. Then, if we let ~ vi = (F (vi), 0, . . . , 0), all of the constraints are satisfied and the objective value remains the same. So, any solution to the original problem is also a solution to this vector program and therefore we have a relaxation. We will use SDPOpt t...

where Φ(t) is the probability that the Gaussian distribution is at most t and t ≥ 1. This tells us that the probability that we exceed the standard deviation decreases very rapidly. As an example, consider t = 10 √ lnn. Then we get Pr [ H ≥ n 2 + t √ n 2 ] ≤ e−50 lnn = 1 n50 . However, the error term of our above approximation is ±O( 1 √ n ), which is important in this example because the error...
