The Complexity of Black-Box Ring Problems
We study the complexity of some computational problems on finite black-box rings whose elements are encoded as strings of a given length and the ring operations are performed by a ...

Orderings for Innermost Termination
Abstract. This paper shows that the suitable orderings for proving innermost termination are characterized by the innermost parallel monotonicity, IP-monotonicity for short. This p...

Directed Animals and Gas Models Revisited
In this paper, we revisit the enumeration of directed animals using gas models. We show that there exists a natural construction of random directed animals on any directed graph t...

Packing Two Disks into a Polygonal Environment
: We consider the following problem. Given a polygon P, possibly with holes, and having n vertices, compute a pair of equal radius disks that do not intersect each other, are conta...

Progressive and selective merge: computing top-k with ad-hoc ranking functions
The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
