Abstract. This paper argues that flatness appears as a central notion in the verification of counter automata. A counter automaton is called flat when its control graph can be ...
We study the complexity of approximating Max NME3SAT, a variant of Max 3SAT when the instances are guaranteed to not have any mixed clauses, i.e., every clause has either all its ...
Recently, there has been growing interest in the modelling and simulation of biological systems. Such systems are often modelled in terms of coupled ordinary differential equation...
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. The main idea ...
This paper proposes an extension of the multiversion two phase locking protocol, called EMVZPL, which enables update transactions to use versions while guaranteeing the serializab...
