Understanding Random SAT: Beyond the Clauses-to-Variables Ratio
It is well known that the ratio of the number of clauses to the number of variables in a random k-SAT instance is highly correlated with the instance’s empirical hardness. We con...

Schedule-Carrying Code
We introduce the paradigm of schedule-carrying code (SCC). A hard real-time program can be executed on a given platform only if there exists a feasible schedule for the real-time t...

On the Complexity of Matrix Rank and Rigidity
We revisit a well studied linear algebraic problem, computing the rank and determinant of matrices, in order to obtain completeness results for small complexity classes. In partic...

(Almost) tight bounds and existence theorems for confluent flows
A flow is said to be confluent if at any node all the flow leaves along a single edge. Given a directed graph G with k sinks and non-negative demands on all the nodes of G, we con...
