Approximation Algorithms via Structural Results for Apex-Minor-Free Graphs
We develop new structural results for apex-minor-free graphs and show their power by developing two new approximation algorithms. The first is an additive approximation for colorin...

Monadic datalog over finite structures with bounded treewidth
Bounded treewidth and Monadic Second Order (MSO) logic have proved to be key concepts in establishing fixed-parameter tractability results. Indeed, by Courcelle's Theorem we ...

Short Proofs are Narrow - Resolution Made Simple
The width of a Resolution proof is defined to be the maximal number of literals in any clause of the proof. In this paper, we relate proof width to proof length (ϭsize), in both g...

Failure of Interpolation in Combined Modal Logics
We investigate transfer of interpolation in such combinations of modal logic which lead to interaction of the modalities. Combining logics by taking products often blocks transfer...

Fixed-Point Definability and Polynomial Time
My talk will be a survey of recent results about the quest for a logic capturing polynomial time. In a fundamental study of database query languages, Chandra and Harel [4] first ra...
