Maximizing Non-Linear Concave Functions in Fixed Dimension
Consider a convex set P in IRd and a piecewise polynomial concave function F: P IR. Let A be an algorithm that given a point x IRd computes F(x) if x P, or returns a concave po...

Computing in Solvable Matrix Groups
We announce methods for e cient management of solvable matrix groups over nite elds. We show that solvability and nilpotence can be tested in polynomial-time. Such e ciency seems ...

On the Fault Tolerance of Some Popular Bounded-Degree Networks
In this paper, we analyze the fault tolerance of several bounded-degree networks that are commonly used for parallel computation. Among other things, we show that an N-node butterf...

Efficient Inference of Partial Types
Partial types for the -calculus were introduced by Thatte in 1988 [3] as a means of typing objects that are not typable with simple types, such as heterogeneous lists and persiste...

Fault-tolerant Wait-free Shared Objects
Wait-free implementations of shared objects tolerate the failure of processes, but not the failure of base objects from which they are implemented. We consider the problem of imple...
