This paper shows a complete upward collapse in the Polynomial Hierarchy (PH) if for ZPP, two queries to a SAT oracle is equivalent to one query. That is, ZPPSAT[1] = ZPPSAT [2] = ...
We consider multi-class blocking systems in which jobs require a single processing step. There are groups of servers that can each serve a different subset of all job classes. The...
Authentication codes provide message integrity guarantees in an information theoretic sense within a symmetric key setting. Information theoretic bounds on the success probability...
We present a novel disambiguation method for unification-based grammars (UBGs). In contrast to other methods, our approach obviates the need for probability models on the UBG side...
We consider the estimation of the order, i.e., the number of hidden states, of a special class of discrete-time finite-alphabet hidden Markov sources. This class can be characteriz...
