The Complexity of Monadic Second-Order Unification
Abstract. Monadic second-order unification is second-order unification where all function constants occurring in the equations are unary. Here we prove that the problem of deciding...

Resolution Is Not Automatizable Unless W[P] Is Tractable
We show that neither Resolution nor tree-like Resolution is automatizable unless the class W[P] from the hierarchy of parameterized problems is fixed-parameter tractable by randomi...

On the Complexity of Verifying Consistency of XML Specifications
XML specifications often consist of a type definition (typically, a DTD) and a set of integrity constraints. It has been shown previously that such specifications can be inconsiste...

Plottable Real Number Functions and the Computable Graph Theorem
The Graph Theorem of classical recursion theory states that a total function on the natural numbers is computable, if and only if its graph is recursive. It is known that this res...
