We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...

We study the parameterized complexity of two families of problems: the bounded length disjoint paths problem and the bounded length cut problem. From Menger’s theorem both proble...
We show a general reduction that derives lower bounds on degrees of polynomial calculus proofs of tautologies over any field of characteristic other than 2 from lower bounds for r...
Abstract. Bounded model checking (BMC) is a technique for overcoming the state explosion problem which has gained wide industrial acceptance. Bounded model checking is typically ap...
The vertex Folkman number F(r, n, m), n < m, is the smallest integer t such that there exists a Km-free graph of order t with the property that every r-coloring of its vertices...
