We prove that every disjoint NP-pair is polynomial-time, many-one equivalent to the canonical disjoint NP-pair of some propositional proof system. Therefore, the degree structure ...
Abstract. Feige and Kilian [5] showed that finding reasonable approximative solutions to the coloring problem on graphs is hard. This motivates the quest for algorithms that eithe...
A partial information algorithm for a language A computes, for some fixed m, for input words x1, . . . , xm a set of bitstrings containing χA(x1, . . . , xm). E.g., p-selective, ...
Abstract. We introduce nondeterministic graph searching with a controlled amount of nondeterminism and show how this new tool can be used in algorithm design and combinatorial anal...
We investigate the complexity of finding prime implicants and minimal equivalent DNFs for Boolean formulas, and of testing equivalence and isomorphism of monotone formulas. For DN...
