Optimal Direct Sum Results for Deterministic and Randomized Decision Tree Complexity
A Direct Sum Theorem holds in a model of computation, when for every problem solving some k input instances together is k times as expensive as solving one. We show that Direct Su...

Decidability and Complexity Analysis of Forbidden State Problems for Discrete Event Systems
The conventional forbidden state problem for discrete event systems is concerned with the issue of synthesizing a maximally permissive control policy to prevent a discrete event s...

The complexity of agreement
A celebrated 1976 theorem of Aumann asserts that honest, rational Bayesian agents with common priors will never "agree to disagree": if their opinions about any topic ar...

The Complexity of Solving Stochastic Games on Graphs
We consider some well-known families of two-player zero-sum perfect-information stochastic games played on finite directed graphs. Generalizing and unifying results of Liggett and...

Complexity: Concept, Causes and Control
Complexity arises from many sources – both within and outwith the system. Internal sources include modern hardware, e.g. super-scalar processors, and external sources include th...
