Clique and chromatic number of circular-perfect graphs
A main result of combinatorial optimization is that clique and chromatic number of a perfect graph are computable in polynomial time (Gr

Modular difference logic is hard
In connection with machine arithmetic, we are interested in systems of constraints of the form x + k y + k . Over integers, the satisfiability problem for such systems is polynomi...

New Set of Codes for the Maximum-Likelihood Decoding Problem
The maximum-likelihood decoding problem is known to be NP-hard for general linear and Reed-Solomon codes [1, 4]. In this paper, we introduce the notion of A-covered codes, that is...

A lower bound for the tree-width of planar graphs with vital linkages
The disjoint paths problem asks, given an graph G and k + 1 pairs of terminals (s0, t0), . . . , (sk, tk), whether there are k + 1 pairwise disjoint paths P0, . . . , Pk, such tha...

Factoring Polynomials over Finite Fields using Balance Test
We study the problem of factoring univariate polynomials over finite fields. Under the assumption of the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH), Gao [Gao01] designed a polynomial time ...

Fast Convergence of Natural Bargaining Dynamics in Exchange Networks
Bargaining networks model the behavior of a set of players who need to reach pairwise agreements for making profits. Nash bargaining solutions in this context correspond to soluti...

Solving #SAT using vertex covers
Abstract We propose an exact algorithm for counting the models of propositional formulas in conjunctive normal form (CNF). Our algorithm is based on the detection of strong backdoo...

Market Equilibria in Polynomial Time for Fixed Number of Goods or Agents
We consider markets in the classical Arrow-Debreu model. There are n agents and m goods. Each buyer has a concave utility function (of the bundle of goods he/she buys) and an init...

Leaf languages and string compression
Tight connections between leafs languages and strings compressed via straight-line programs (SLPs) are established. It is shown that the compressed membership problem for a languag...

From Feasible Proofs to Feasible Computations
We shall discuss several situations in which it is possible to extract from a proof, be it a proof in a first-order theory or a propositional proof, some feasible computational inf...
