Bidimensionality theory appears to be a powerful framework in the development of meta-algorithmic techniques. It was introduced by Demaine et al. [J. ACM 2005 ] as a tool to obtai...

By the fundamental theorem of symmetric polynomials, if P Q[X1, . . . , Xn] is symmetric, then it can be written P = Q(1, . . . , n), where 1, . . . , n are the elementary symmet...
We consider computational problems on covering graphs with bicliques (complete bipartite subgraphs). Given a graph and an integer k, the biclique cover problem asks whether the edg...
The disc covering problem asks to cover a set of points on the plane with a minimum number of fix-sized discs. We develop an O(n(log n)2 (log log n)2 ) deterministic time 2.8334-a...
In this note, we use lower bounds on Boolean multiplicative complexity to prove lower bounds on Boolean circuit complexity. We give a very simple proof of a 7n/3 − c lower bound ...
