As a simple XML query language but with enough expressive power, XPath has become very popular. To expedite evaluation of XPath queries, we consider the problem of rewriting XPath...
Abstract. We prove that ground reducibility is EXPTIME-complete in the general case. EXPTIME-hardness is proved by encoding the emptiness problem for the intersection of recognizab...
We study a refined framwork of parameterized complexity theory where the parameter dependendence of fixed-parameter tractable algorithms is not arbitrary, but restricted by a fu...
Deciding whether a graph can be embedded in a grid using only unitlength edges is NP-complete, even when restricted to binary trees. However, it is not difficult to devise a numbe...
We consider the problem of coloring a planar graph with the minimum number of colors so that each color class avoids one or more forbidden graphs as subgraphs. We perform a detail...
