On the Complements of Partial k-Trees
We introduce new techniques for studying the structure of partial k-trees. In particular, we show that the complements of partial k-trees provide an intuitively-appealing character...

Succinctness of the Complement and Intersection of Regular Expressions
Abstract. We study the succinctness of the complement and intersection of regular expressions. In particular, we show that when constructing a regular expression defining the compl...

Inapproximability of Nondeterministic State and Transition Complexity Assuming P=!NP
Abstract. Inapproximability results concerning minimization of nondeterministic finite automata relative to given deterministic finite automata were obtained only recently, modul...

A Series of Run-Rich Strings
We present a new series of run-rich strings, and give a new lower bound 0.94457567 of the maximum number of runs in a string. We also introduce the general conjecture about a asymp...

Lower Bounds for Swapping Arthur and Merlin
We prove a lower bound for swapping the order of Arthur and Merlin in two-round MerlinArthur games using black-box techniques. Namely, we show that any AM-game requires time (t2 )...
