We initiate the study of the proof complexity of propositional encoding of (weak cases of) concrete independence results. In particular we study the proof complexity of Paris-Harr...
We present a new positive lower bound for the minimum value taken by a polynomial P with integer coefficients in k variables over the standard simplex of Rk , assuming that P is p...
We prove co-N2ExpTime-hardness for conjunctive query entailment in the description logic ALCOIF , thus improving the previously known 2ExpTime lower bound. The result transfers to ...
—A matrix A of size m n containing items from a totally ordered universe is termed monotone if, for every i, j, 1 i < j m, the minimum value in row j lies below or to...
Recently developed dual techniques allow us to evaluate a given sub-optimal dynamic portfolio policy by using the policy to construct an upper bound on the optimal value function....
