Comparing Universal Covers in Polynomial Time
The universal cover TG of a connected graph G is the unique (possible infinite) tree covering G, i.e., that allows a locally bijective homomorphism from TG to G. Universal covers h...

Learning Unions of Tree Patterns Using Queries
This paper characterizes the polynomial time learnability of TPk, the class of collections of at most k rst-order terms. A collection in TPk de nes the union of the languages de n...

Polynomial Time Summary Statistics for Two general Classes of Functions
In previous work we showed, by Walsh analysis, that summary statistics such as mean, variance, skew, and higher order statistics can be computed in polynomial time for embedded la...

On Representations of Algebraic-Geometric Codes for List Decoding
Abstract. We show that all algebraic-geometric codes possess a succinct representation that allows for the list decoding algorithms of [15, 7] to run in polynomial time. We do this...

P Systems with Active Membranes Characterize PSPACE
P system is a natural computing model inspired by behavior of living cells and their membranes. We show that (semi-)uniform families of P systems with active membranes can solve i...

Constraint Satisfaction with Bounded Treewidth Revisited
Abstract. The constraint satisfaction problem can be solved in polynomial time for instances where certain parameters (e.g., the treewidth of primal graphs) are bounded. However, t...

An Approximation Algorithm for a Bottleneck Traveling Salesman Problem
Consider a truck running along a road. It picks up a load Li at point i and delivers it at i, carrying at most one load at a time. The speed on the various parts of the road in on...

Efficient Algorithms for Constant Well Supported Approximate Equilibria in Bimatrix Games
Abstract. In this work we study the tractability of well supported approximate Nash Equilibria (SuppNE in short) in bimatrix games. In view of the apparent intractability of constr...

IP=PSPACE
In [Sh92], Adi Shamir proved a complete characterization of the complexity class IP. He showed that when both randomization and interaction are allowed, the proofs that can be ver...
