Nearly Private Information Retrieval
A private information retrieval scheme is a protocol whereby a client obtains a record from a database without the database operators learning anything about which record the clien...

Towards a Rice Theorem on Traces of Cellular Automata
The trace subshift of a cellular automaton is the subshift of all possible columns that may appear in a space-time diagram. We prove the undecidability of a rather large class of p...

Properties Complementary to Program Self-reference
In computability theory, program self-reference is formalized by the not-necessarily-constructive form of Kleene’s Recursion Theorem (krt). In a programming system in which krt h...

Finding Paths Between Graph Colourings: PSPACE-Completeness and Superpolynomial Distances
Suppose we are given a graph G together with two proper vertex k-colourings of G, α and β. How easily can we decide whether it is possible to transform α into β by recolouring...

Semisimple Algebras of Almost Minimal Rank over the Reals
Abstract. A famous lower bound for the bilinear complexity of the multiplication in associative algebras is the Alder–Strassen bound. Algebras for which this bound is tight are c...

Reachability Problems in Quaternion Matrix and Rotation Semigroups
Abstract. We examine computational problems on quaternion matrix and rotation semigroups. It is shown that in the ultimate case of quaternion matrices, in which multiplication is s...

Linear Circuits, Two-Variable Logic and Weakly Blocked Monoids
Following recent works connecting two-variable logic to circuits and monoids, we establish, for numerical predicate sets P satisfying a certain closure property, a one-to-one corre...
