Branching Programs for Tree Evaluation
We introduce the tree evaluation problem, show that it is in LogDCFL (and hence in P), and study its branching program complexity in the hope of eventually proving a superlogarith...

Online auctions with re-usable goods
This paper concerns the design of mechanisms for online scheduling in which agents bid for access to a re-usable resource such as processor time or wireless network access. Each a...

Fractional Pebbling and Thrifty Branching Programs
We study the branching program complexity of the tree evaluation problem, introduced in [BCM+09a] as a candidate for separating NL from LogCFL. The input to the problem is a roote...

Approximating the Expressive Power of Logics in Finite Models
Abstract. We present a probability logic (essentially a first order language extended with quantifiers that count the fraction of elements in a model that satisfy a first order ...

On the Relative Strength of Pebbling and Resolution
The last decade has seen a revival of interest in pebble games in the context of proof complexity. Pebbling has proven to be a useful tool for studying resolution-based proof syst...
