For the worst-case complexity measure, if P = NP, then P = OptP, i.e., all NP optimization problems are polynomial-time solvable. On the other hand, it is not clear whether a simi...
The range minimum query problem, RMQ for short, is to preprocess a sequence of real numbers A[1 . . . n] for subsequent queries of the form: “Given indices i, j, what is the ind...
Abstract. We study schedulability problems of timed systems with nonuniformly recurring computation tasks. Assume a set of real time tasks whose best and worst execution times, and...
In the Newcomb problem, the standard arguments for taking either one box or both boxes adduce what seem to be relevant considerations, but they are not complete arguments, and att...
We analyze the dynamics of problem-solving in a framework which captures two key features of that activity. The first feature is that problem-solving is a social game where a numb...
