A Formalization of Polytime Functions
Abstract. We present a deep embedding of Bellantoni and Cook’s syntactic characterization of polytime functions. We prove formally that it is correct and complete with respect to...

Sharply Bounded Alternation and Quasilinear Time
We de ne the sharply bounded hierarchy, SBH(QL), a hierarchy of classes within P, using quasilinear-time computation and quanti cation over strings of length logn. It generalizes ...

On characterizations of truthful mechanisms for combinatorial auctions and scheduling
We characterize truthful mechanisms in two multi-parameter domains. The first characterization shows that every mechanism for combinatorial auctions with two subadditive bidders t...

On the characterizations of (S, N)-implications
The characterization of S-implications generated from strong negations presented firstly by Trillas and Valverde in 1985 is wellknown in the literature. In this paper we show tha...

Matrix Partitions with Finitely Many Obstructions
Each m by m symmetric matrix M over 0, 1, ∗, defines a partition problem, in which an input graph G is to be partitioned into m parts with adjacencies governed by M, in the sen...

Polynomials, Fragments of Temporal Logic and the Variety DA over Traces
Abstract. We show that some language theoretic and logical characterizations of recognizable word languages whose syntactic monoid is in the variety DA also hold over traces. To th...

Bounded Nondeterminism of Logic Programs
We introduce the notion of bounded nondeterminism for logic programs and queries. A program and a query have bounded nondeterminism if there are finitely many refutations for the...

Computing Anonymously with Arbitrary Knowledge
We provide characterizations of the relations that can be computed with arbitrary knowledge on networks where all processors use the same algorithm and start from the same state (...

An Effective Characterization of Computability in Anonymous Networks
We provide effective (i.e., recursive) characterizations of the relations that can be computed on networks where all processors use the same algorithm, start from the same state, a...
