We study compression that preserves the solution to an instance of a problem rather than preserving the instance itself. Our focus is on the compressibility of NP decision problem...
— Semi-formal verification based on symbolic simulation offers a good compromise between formal model checking and numerical simulation. The generation of functional test vector...

Satisfiability of complex word-level formulas often arises as a problem in formal verification of hardware designs described at the register transfer level (RTL). Even though most...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to solving the distributed constraint optimisation problem (DCOP) that guarantees completeness, while having linear communication comple...
Based on the framework of parameterized complexity theory, we derive tight lower bounds on the computational complexity for a number of well-known NP-hard problems. We start by pr...
