(Almost) Tight bounds and existence theorems for single-commodity confluent flows
A flow of a commodity is said to be confluent if at any node all the flow of the commodity leaves along a single edge. In this paper we study single-commodity confluent flow pro...

Optimal pants decompositions and shortest homotopic cycles on an orientable surface
We consider the problem of finding a shortest cycle (freely) homotopic to a given simple cycle on a compact, orientable surface. For this purpose, we use a pants decomposition of...

Bit complexity of breaking and achieving symmetry in chains and rings
We consider a failure-free, asynchronous message passing network with n links, where the processors are arranged on a ring or a chain. The processors are identically programmed bu...

Polymorphic higher-order recursive path orderings
This paper extends the termination proof techniques based on reduction orderings to a higher-order setting, by defining a family of recursive path orderings for terms of a typed ...

Dynamic ordered sets with exponential search trees
We introduce exponential search trees as a novel technique for converting static polynomial space search structures for ordered sets into fully-dynamic linear space data structure...
