We apply the semantic tool of non-deterministic matrices to characterize two important properties of canonical Gentzen-type calculi: invertibility of rules and axiom expansion. We ...
We study the approximability of the maximum solution problem. This problem is an optimisation variant of the constraint satisfaction problem and it captures a wide range of interes...
Abstract. In 1992, A. Hiltgen [1] provided the first constructions of provably (slightly) secure cryptographic primitives, namely feebly one-way functions. These functions are pro...
Abstract. Ordering constraints are analogous to instances of the satisfiability problem in conjunctive normalform, but instead of a boolean assignment we consider a linear orderin...
We consider the class of constant depth AND/OR circuits augmented with a layer of modular counting gates at the bottom layer, i.e AC0 ◦MODm circuits. We show that the following ...
