Abstract. We develop a generic framework for deriving linear-size problem kernels for NP-hard problems on planar graphs. We demonstrate the usefulness of our framework in several c...
We consider several private database query problems. The starting point of this work is the element rank problem: the server holds a database of n integers, and the user an integer...
We introduce stochastic priority games — a new class of perfect information stochastic games. These games can take two different, but equivalent, forms. In stopping priority ga...
This paper studies labeling schemes for the vertex connectivity function on general graphs. We consider the problem of labeling the nodes of any n-node graph is such a way that gi...
We present a new meshing algorithm for the plane, Overlay Stitch Meshing (OSM), accepting as input an arbitrary Planar Straight Line Graph and producing a triangulation with all an...
In this paper we present the theory and practice of co-logic programming (co-LP for brevity), a paradigm that combines both inductive and coinductive logic programming. Co-LP is a ...
We study the problem of finding occurrences of motifs in vertex-colored graphs, where a motif is a multiset of colors, and an occurrence of a motif is a subset of connected vertic...

Valiant’s theory of holographic algorithms is a novel methodology to achieve exponential speedups in computation. A fundamental parameter in holographic algorithms is the dimens...
Abstract. State-based systems and modal logics for reasoning about them often heterogeneously combine a number of features such as non-determinism and probabilities. Here, we show ...
Motivated by the challenging task of designing “secure” vote storage mechanisms, we study information storage mechanisms that operate in extremely hostile environments. In suc...
