On the Compressibility of NP Instances and Cryptographic Applications
We study compression that preserves the solution to an instance of a problem rather than preserving the instance itself. Our focus is on the compressibility of NP decision problem...

A Theory of Restrictions for Logics and Automata
BDDs and their algorithms implement a decision procedure for Quanti ed Propositional Logic. BDDs are a kind of acyclic automata. Unrestricted automata (recognizing unbounded string...

Searching for liveness property violations in concurrent systems with ACO
Liveness properties in concurrent systems are, informally, those properties that stipulate that something good eventually happens during execution. In order to prove that a given ...

Efficient Planning in Large POMDPs through Policy Graph Based Factorized Approximations
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) are widely used for planning under uncertainty. In many applications, the huge size of the POMDP state space makes straightf...
