Crossing Number Is Hard for Cubic Graphs
It was proved by [Garey and Johnson, 1983] that computing the crossing number of a graph is an NP-hard problem. Their reduction, however, used parallel edges and vertices of very h...

Scaled Dimension and the Kolmogorov Complexity of Turing-Hard Sets
We study constructive and resource-bounded scaled dimension as an information content measure and obtain several results that parallel previous work on unscaled dimension. Scaled ...

All Superlinear Inverse Schemes Are coNP-Hard
How hard is it to invert NP-problems? We show that all superlinearly certified inverses of NP problems are coNP-hard. To do so, we develop a novel proof technique that builds dia...

Approximating Boolean Functions by OBDDs
In learning theory and genetic programming, OBDDs are used to represent approximations of Boolean functions. This motivates the investigation of the OBDD complexity of approximatin...

When Can You Play Positionally?
We consider infinite antagonistic games over finite graphs. We present conditions that, whenever satisfied by the payoff mapping, assure for both players positional (memoryless...

The Price of Anarchy for Polynomial Social Cost
Abstract. In this work, we consider an interesting variant of the wellstudied KP model [18] for selfish routing that reflects some influence from the much older Wardrop model [3...

Optimal Preemptive Scheduling for General Target Functions
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...

Decidability of Trajectory-Based Equations
We consider the decidability of existence of solutions to language equations involving the operations of shuffle and deletion along trajectories. These operations generalize the o...

The Bidimensional Theory of Bounded-Genus Graphs
Abstract. Bidimensionality provides a tool for developing subexponential fixed-parameter algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems on graph families that exclude a minor....

A Protocol for Serializing Unique Strategies
Abstract. We devise an efficient protocol by which a series of twoperson games Gi with unique winning strategies can be combined into a single game G with unique winning strategy, ...
