Knowledge compilation meets database theory: compiling queries to decision diagrams
The goal of Knowledge Compilation is to represent a Boolean expression in a format in which it can answer a range of online-queries in PTIME. The online-query of main interest to ...

Relating complexity and precision in control flow analysis
We analyze the computational complexity of kCFA, a hierarchy of control flow analyses that determine which functions may be applied at a given call-site. This hierarchy specifies ...

On the Power of Positive Turing Reductions
: In the early 1980s, Selman's seminal work on positive Turing reductions showed that positive Turing reduction to NP yields no greater computational power than NP itself. Thu...

Modal Event Calculus
We consider a hierarchy of modal event calculi to represent and reason about partially ordered events. These calculi are based on the model of time and change of Kowalski and Sergo...

If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case Then It is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...
