The Partition Technique for Overlays of Envelopes
We obtain a near-tight bound of O(n3+ε ), for any ε > 0, on the complexity of the overlay of the minimization diagrams of two collections of surfaces in four dimensions. This...

Maximizing Adaptivity in Hierarchical Topological Models
We present an approach to hierarchically encode the topology of functions over triangulated surfaces. We describe the topology of a function by its Morse-Smale complex, a well kno...

A bisimulation for dynamic sealing
We define seal, an untyped call-by-value -calculus with primitives for protecting abstract data by sealing, and develop a bisimulation proof method that is sound and complete with...

Speed-Up Theorems in Type-2 Computation
Abstract. A classic result known as the speed-up theorem in machineindependent complexity theory shows that there exist some computable functions that do not have best programs for...

Almost-Natural Proofs
Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandom number generators do not exist. This famous result is...
