Lower Bounds for Swapping Arthur and Merlin
We prove a lower bound for swapping the order of Arthur and Merlin in two-round MerlinArthur games using black-box techniques. Namely, we show that any AM-game requires time (t2 )...

Stochastic Steiner Tree with Non-uniform Inflation
We study the Steiner Tree problem in the model of two-stage stochastic optimization with non-uniform inflation factors, and give a poly-logarithmic approximation factor for this pr...

Synthesis of Petri Nets from Finite Partial Languages
In this paper we present two algorithms that effectively synthesize a finite place/transition Petri net (p/t-net) from a finite set of labeled partial orders (a finite partial lang...
