On the Structure of Bounded Queries to Arbitrary NP Sets
Kadin [6] showed that if the Polynomial Hierarchy (PH) has infinitely many levels, then for all k, PSAT[k] ⊂ PSAT[k+1]. This paper extends Kadin’s technique and shows that a p...

On Bounded Queries and Approximation
This paper investigates the computational complexity of approximating several NPoptimization problems using the number of queries to an NP oracle as a complexity measure. The resu...

Recognizing string graphs in NP
A string graph is the intersection graph of a set of curves in the plane. Each curve is represented by a vertex, and an edge between two vertices means that the corresponding curv...

Boolean Formulas and Frequent Sets
We consider the problem of how one can estimate the support of Boolean queries given a collection of frequent itemsets. We describe an algorithm that truncates the inclusion-exclus...

Efficient reverse k-nearest neighbor search in arbitrary metric spaces
The reverse k-nearest neighbor (RkNN) problem, i.e. finding all objects in a data set the k-nearest neighbors of which include a specified query object, is a generalization of the...
