The maximum intersection problem for a matroid and a greedoid, given by polynomialtime oracles, is shown NP-hard by expressing the satisfiability of boolean formulas in 3-conjunct...
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis (V-C) dimension is an important combinatorial tool in the analysis of learning problems in the PAC framework. For polynomial learnability, we seek upper bou...
We consider the computational complexity of a problem modeling bribery in the context of voting systems. In the scenario of Swap Bribery, each voter assigns a certain price for swa...
Abstract. We consider the problem of counting the number of indistinguishable targets using a simple binary sensing model. Our setting includes an unknown number of point targets i...
Using inclusion-exclusion, we can write the indicator function of a union of finitely many balls as an alternating sum of indicator functions of common intersections of balls. We...
