We prove that a bounded stack can be specified in process algebra with just the operators alternative and sequential composition and iteration. The bounded bag cannot be specified ...
A k-stack layout (respectively, k-queue layout) of a graph consists of a total order of the vertices, and a partition of the edges into k sets of non-crossing (non-nested) edges wi...
This paper proves ¡ £ ¥ lower bounds on the time to perform a single instance of an operation in any implementation of a large class of data structures shared by £ processe...
This paper presents lower bounds on the time- and space-complexity of implementations that use the k compare-and-swap (k-CAS) synchronization primitives. We prove that the use of ...
Some well-known primitive operations, such as compare-and-swap, can be used, together with read and write, to implement any object in a wait-free manner. However, this paper shows ...
