Kolmogorov-Loveland Randomness and Stochasticity
An infinite binary sequence X is Kolmogorov-Loveland (or KL) random if there is no computable non-monotonic betting strategy that succeeds on X in the sense of having an unbounde...

Cost Sharing and Strategyproof Mechanisms for Set Cover Games
Abstract. We develop for set cover games several general cost-sharing methods that are approximately budget-balanced, core, and/or group-strategyproof. We first study the cost sha...

A Polynomial Time Algorithm for Minimum Cycle Basis in Directed Graphs
Abstract. We consider the problem of computing a minimum cycle basis in a directed graph G with m arcs and n vertices. The arcs of G have non-negative weights assigned to them. We ...

Deciding Properties of Contract-Signing Protocols
Abstract. We show that for infinite transition systems induced by cryptographic protocols in the Rusinowitch/Turuani style certain fundamental branching properties are decidable. ...

Cycle Cover with Short Cycles
Cycle covering is a well-studied problem in computer science. In this paper, we develop approximation algorithms for variants of cycle covering problems which bound the size and/o...

Quantum Interactive Proofs with Competing Provers
This paper studies quantum refereed games, which are quantum interactive proof systems with two competing provers: one that tries to convince the verifier to accept and the other...

Pattern Occurrences in Multicomponent Models
Abstract. In this paper we determine some limit distributions of pattern statistics in rational stochastic models, defined by means of nondeterministic weighted finite automata. ...

Solving Medium-Density Subset Sum Problems in Expected Polynomial Time
The subset sum problem (SSP) (given n numbers and a target bound B, find a subset of the numbers summing to B), is one of the classical NP-hard problems. The hardness of SSP vari...
