Maximizing Non-Linear Concave Functions in Fixed Dimension
Consider a convex set P in IRd and a piecewise polynomial concave function F: P IR. Let A be an algorithm that given a point x IRd computes F(x) if x P, or returns a concave po...

Efficient Detection of Determinacy Races in Cilk Programs
A parallel multithreaded program that is ostensibly deterministic may nevertheless behave nondeterministically due to bugs in the code. These bugs are called determinacy races, an...

New degree bounds for polynomial threshold functions
A real multivariate polynomial p(x1, . . . , xn) is said to sign-represent a Boolean function f : {0, 1}n {-1, 1} if the sign of p(x) equals f(x) for all inputs x {0, 1}n. We gi...

Size-Change Termination, Monotonicity Constraints and Ranking Functions
Abstract. Size-change termination involves deducing program termination based on the impossibility of infinite descent. To this end we may use m abstraction in which transitions ar...

Beyond record and play: backpacks: tangible modulators for kinetic behavior
Digital Manipulatives embed computation in familiar children's toys and provide means for children to design behavior. Some systems use "record and play" as a form ...
