We show that some natural refinements of the Straubing and Brzozowski hierarchies correspond (via the so called leaf-languages) step by step to similar refinements of the polynom...
Many documents such as Web documents or XML files have tree structures. A term tree is an unordered tree pattern consisting of internal variables and tree structures. In order to ...
Abstract. Generalising modules over associative rings, the notion of modules for an endofunctor of any category is well established and useful in large parts of mathematics includi...
Abstract. The maximum intersection problem for a matroid and a greedoid, given by polynomial-time oracles, is shown NP-hard by expressing the satisfiability of boolean formulas in...
Abstract. We present three results on divisibility monoids. These divisibility monoids were introduced in [11] as an algebraic generalization of Mazurkiewicz trace monoids. (1) We ...
In this paper dense families of database relations are introduced. We characterize dependencies and keys of relation instances in terms of dense families. Key functions are also in...
This paper presents the prediction-preserving reducibility with membership queries (pwm-reducibility) on formal languages, in particular, simple CFGs and finite unions of regular ...
This paper presents the results of using sequential analysis to find increment sequences that minimize the average running time of Shellsort, for array sizes up to several thousan...
