Linear and Branching Metrics for Quantitative Transition Systems
Abstract. We extend the basic system relations of trace inclusion, trace equivalence, simulation, and bisimulation to a quantitative setting in which propositions are interpreted n...

Fractional Pebbling and Thrifty Branching Programs
We study the branching program complexity of the tree evaluation problem, introduced in [BCM+09a] as a candidate for separating NL from LogCFL. The input to the problem is a roote...

New degree bounds for polynomial threshold functions
A real multivariate polynomial p(x1, . . . , xn) is said to sign-represent a Boolean function f : {0, 1}n {-1, 1} if the sign of p(x) equals f(x) for all inputs x {0, 1}n. We gi...

On Using Cutting Planes in Pseudo-Boolean Optimization
Cutting planes are a well-known, widely used, and very effective technique for Integer Linear Programming (ILP). However, cutting plane techniques are seldom used in PseudoBoolean...

New Results on the Complexity of the Middle Bit of Multiplication
It is well known that the hardest bit of integer multiplication is the middle bit, i.e. MULn−1,n. This paper contains several new results on its complexity. First, the size s of...
