We investigate the connection between propositional proof systems and their canonical pairs. It is known that simulations between proof systems translate to reductions between the...
We consider the family of 2n-to-n-bit compression functions that are solely based on at most three permutation executions and on XOR-operators, and analyze its collision and preima...
In this paper we analyze the most popular evaluation metrics for separate-and-conquer rule learning algorithms. Our results show that all commonly used heuristics, including accur...
Mapping composition is a fundamental operation in metadata driven applications. Given a mapping over schemas 1 and 2 and a mapping over schemas 2 and 3, the composition problem is...

We show that the problem of optimal bit allocation among a set of independent discrete quantizers given a budget constraint is equivalent to the multiple choice knapsack problem (...
