Size-change termination with difference constraints
lem of inferring termination from such abstract information is not the halting problem for programs and may well be decidable. If this is the case, the decision algorithm forms a &...

Pure Nash equilibria: complete characterization of hard and easy graphical games
We consider the computational complexity of pure Nash equilibria in graphical games. It is known that the problem is NP-complete in general, but tractable (i.e., in P) for special...

The detectability lemma and quantum gap amplification
The quantum analog of a constraint satisfaction problem is a sum of local Hamiltonians - each (term of the) Hamiltonian specifies a local constraint whose violation contributes to...

Non-monotonic Lyapunov functions for stability of discrete time nonlinear and switched systems
Abstract— We relax the monotonicity requirement of Lyapunov’s theorem to enlarge the class of functions that can provide certificates of stability. To this end, we propose two...
