Devising an efficient deterministic – or even a nondeterministic sub-exponential time – algorithm for testing polynomial identities is a fundamental problem in algebraic comp...
We consider the standard model of finite two-person zero-sum stochastic games with signals. We are interested in the existence of almost-surely winning or positively winning stra...
Abstract— Thorup and Zwick, in their seminal work, introduced the approximate distance oracle, which is a data structure that answers distance queries in a graph. For any integer...
Abstract. We consider an upper confidence bound algorithm for Markov decision processes (MDPs) with deterministic transitions. For this algorithm we derive upper bounds on the onl...
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...

We find lower bounds on the minimum distance and characterize codewords of small weight in low-density parity check codes defined by (dual) classical generalized quadrangles. We a...
Abstract. Comparison of images requires a distance metric that is sensitive to the spatial location of objects and features. Such sensitive distance measures can, however, be compu...
The important challenge of evaluating XPath queries over XML streams has sparked much interest in the past few years. A number of algorithms have been proposed, supporting wider f...
Given a database of n points in {0, 1}d, the partial match problem is: In response to a query x in {0, 1, }d, find a database point y such that for every i whenever xi = , we have...
