On the Complexity of Parabolic Initial Value Problems with Variable Drift
We study the intrinsic difficulty of solving linear parabolic initial value problems numerically at a single point. We present a worst case analysis for deterministic as well as fo...

The Complexity of Mean Flow Time Scheduling Problems with Release Times
We study the problem of preemptive scheduling n jobs with given release times on m identical parallel machines. The objective is to minimize the average flow time. We show that wh...

The standard parts problem and the complexity of control communication
The objective of the standard parts optimal control problem is to find a number, m, of control inputs to a given input-output system that can be used in different combinations to...

A Complexity Dichotomy for Finding Disjoint Solutions of Vertex Deletion Problems
We investigate the computational complexity of a general “compression task” centrally occurring in the recently developed technique of iterative compression for exactly solving...

On a Logical Approach to Estimating Computational Complexity of Potentially Intractable Problems
Abstract. In the paper we present a purely logical approach to estimating computational complexity of potentially intractable problems. The approach is based on descriptive complex...
