We prove a lower bound of (n4/3 log1/3 n) on the randomized decision tree complexity of any nontrivial monotone n-vertex graph property, and of any nontrivial monotone bipartite g...
Automata on infinite words (ω-automata) have wide applications in formal language theory as well as in modeling and verifying reactive systems. Complementation of ωautomata is ...
A variable-length code is a fix-free code if no codeword is a prefix or a suffix of any other codeword. In a fix-free code any finite sequence of codewords can be decoded in both d...
Voting (or rank aggregation) is a general method for aggregating the preferences of multiple agents. One voting rule of particular interest is the Kemeny rule, which minimizes the...

We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs with release dates on m identical parallel machines to minimize the average completion time of the jobs. We prove that the ratio of the...
