Many optimization techniques, including several targeted specifically at embedded systems, depend on the ability to calculate the number of elements that satisfy certain conditio...

The edit distance (or Levenshtein distance) between two words is the smallest number of substitutions, insertions, and deletions of symbols that can be used to transform one of the...
Cai and Selman [CS99] defined a modification of Levin’s notion of average polynomial time and proved, for every P-bi-immune language L and every polynomial-time computable dis...
In real-life temporal scenarios, uncertainty and preferences are often essential, coexisting aspects. We present a formalism where temporal constraints with both preferences and un...

Polynomial time complexity is the usual ‘threshold’ for distinguishing the tractable from the intractable and it may seem reasonable to adopt this notion of tractability in th...
