We investigate which polynomials can possibly occur as factors in the denominators of rational solutions of a given partial linear difference equation (PLDE). Two kinds of polynom...
The maximum-likelihood decoding problem is known to be NP-hard for general linear and Reed-Solomon codes [1, 4]. In this paper, we introduce the notion of A-covered codes, that is...
The generalized hypertree width GHW(H) of a hypergraph H is a measure of its cyclicity. Classes of conjunctive queries or constraint satisfaction problems whose associated hypergr...
Given an undirected graph with nonnegative costs on the edges, the routing cost of any of its spanning trees is the sum over all pairs of vertices of the cost of the path between t...

We wish to increase the power of an arbitrary algorithm designed for non-degenerate input, by allowing it to execute on all inputs. We concentrate on in nitesimal symbolic perturba...
