Extracting a largest redundancy-free XML storage structure from an acyclic hypergraph in polynomial time
Given a hypergraph and a set of embedded functional dependencies, we investigate the problem of determining the conditions under which we can efficiently generate redundancy-free ...

Satisfiability Allows No Nontrivial Sparsification Unless The Polynomial-Time Hierarchy Collapses
Consider the following two-player communication process to decide a language L: The first player holds the entire input x but is polynomially bounded; the second player is computa...

On Exponential-Time Completeness of the Circularity Problem for Attribute Grammars
Attribute grammars (AGs) are a formal technique for defining semantics of programming languages. Existing complexity proofs on the circularity problem of AGs are based on automata...

The complexity of temporal constraint satisfaction problems
A temporal constraint language is a set of relations that has a first-order definition in (Q, <), the dense linear order of the rational numbers. We present a complete comple...

The Complexity of Proving the Discrete Jordan Curve Theorem
The Jordan Curve Theorem (JCT) states that a simple closed curve divides the plane into exactly two connected regions. We formalize and prove the theorem in the context of grid gr...
