Cosmological lower bound on the circuit complexity of a small problem in logic
An exponential lower bound on the circuit complexity of deciding the weak monadic second-order theory of one successor (WS1S) is proved. Circuits are built from binary operations, ...

Paradoxes in distributed decisions on optimal load balancing for networks of homogeneous computers
In completely symmetric systems that have homogeneous nodes (hosts, computers, or processors) with identical arrival processes, an optimal static load balancing scheme does not in...

The greedy path-merging algorithm for contig scaffolding
Given a collection of contigs and mate-pairs. The Contig Scaffolding Problem is to order and orientate the given contigs in a manner that is consistent with as many mate-pairs as p...

Fast context-free grammar parsing requires fast boolean matrix multiplication
In 1975, Valiant showed that Boolean matrix multiplication can be used for parsing contextfree grammars (CFGs), yielding the asympotically fastest (although not practical) CFG par...

Map graphs
We consider a modified notion of planarity, in which two nations of a map are considered adjacent when they share any point of their boundaries (not necessarily an edge, as planar...

Formal verification of standards for distance vector routing protocols
We show how to use an interactive theorem prover, HOL, together with a model checker, SPIN, to prove key properties of distance vector routing protocols. We do three case studies: ...
