Algorithmic Lower Bounds for Problems Parameterized by Clique-width
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...

New Bounds for the Controller Problem
The (M, W)-controller, originally studied by Afek, Awerbuch, Plotkin, and Saks, is a basic ted tool that provides an abstraction for managing the consumption of a global resource ...

Performance Bounds and Distance Spectra of Variable Length Codes in Turbo/Concatenated Systems
Abstract--Variable length codes (VLCs), used in data compression, are very sensitive to error propagation in the presence of noisy channels. Addressing this problem with joint sour...

Improved bounds on sorting by length-weighted reversals
We study the problem of sorting binary sequences and permutations by length-weighted reversals. We consider a wide class of cost functions, namely f( ) = for all 0, where is the...

A Lower Bound for Testing 3-Colorability in Bounded-Degree Graphs
We consider the problem of testing 3-colorability in the bounded-degree model. We show that, for small enough ε, every tester for 3colorability must have query complexity Ω(n)....
