Despite the impressive progress of logic synthesis in the past decade, finding the best architecture for a given circuit still remains an open problem and largely unsolved. In mos...
Any valid Ramsey statement n −→ (k)2 2 can be encoded into a DNF formula RAM(n, k) of size O(nk) and with terms of size k 2 . Let rk be the minimal n for which the statement h...
We describe an algorithm for deciding the first-order multisorted theory BAPA, which combines 1) Boolean algebras of sets of uninterpreted elements (BA) and 2) Presburger arithmeti...
Abstract. There is a very simple way in which the safe/normal variable discipline of Bellantoni-Cook recursion (1992) can be imposed on arithmetical theories like PA: quantify over...
We give machine characterisations and logical descriptions of a number of parameterized complexity classes. The focus of our attention is the class W[P], which we characterise as ...
