The diameter of an undirected graph is the minimal number d such that there is a path between any two vertices of the graph of length at most d. The radius of a graph is the minim...

Abstract. In recent years we have witnessed the proliferation of semidefinite programming bounds in combinatorial optimization [1,5,8], quantum computing [9,2,3,6,4,16] and even in...
We investigate issues regarding two hard problems related to voting, the optimal weighted lobbying problem and the winner problem for Dodgson elections. Regarding the former, Chris...
We study the multi-dimensional version of the bin packing problem with conflicts. We are given a set of squares V = {1, 2, . . . , n} with sides s1, s2, . . . , sn [0, 1] and a co...
We give an algorithm for deciding productivity of a large and natural class of recursive stream definitions. A stream definition is called `productive' if it can be evaluated ...
The theorem of factorisation forests shows the existence of nested factorisations -- a la Ramsey -- for finite words. This theorem has important applications in semigroup theory, a...
Abstract. Message sequence charts are an attractive formalism for specifying communicating systems. One way to test such a system is to substitute a component by a test process and...

We consider tree-walking automata using k pebbles. The pebbles are either strong (can be lifted from anywhere) or weak (can be lifted only when the automaton is on it). For each k,...
