Infeasibility of Instance Compression and Succinct PCPs for NP
The OR-SAT problem asks, given Boolean formulae φ1, . . . , φm each of size at most n, whether at least one of the φi’s is satisfiable. We show that there is no reduction fr...

On Complexity of Model-Checking for the TQL Logic
In this paper we study the complexity of the model-checking problem for the tree logic introduced as the basis for the query language TQL [Cardelli and Ghelli, 2001]. We define tw...

The effect of girth on the kernelization complexity of Connected Dominating Set
In the Connected Dominating Set problem we are given as input a graph G and a positive integer k, and are asked if there is a set S of at most k vertices of G such that S is a dom...

Characterizing Valiant's algebraic complexity classes
Valiant introduced 20 years ago an algebraic complexity theory to study the complexity of polynomial families. The basic computation model used is the arithmetic circuit, which ma...
