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...

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...

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...

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 ...
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...
