Abstract. A Boolean function on N variables is called evasive if its decision-tree complexity is N. A sequence Bn of Boolean functions is eventually evasive if Bn is evasive for al...
Abstract. This paper develops the very basic notions of analysis in a weak secondorder theory of arithmetic BTFA whose provably total functions are the polynomial time computable f...
Consider the following seemingly rhetorical question: Is it crucial for a property-tester to know the error parameter in advance? Previous papers dealing with various testing prob...
The Tutte polynomial of a graph, also known as the partition function of the q-state Potts model, is a 2-variable polynomial graph invariant of considerable importance in both comb...
This paper focuses on priority assignment for realtime systems using fixed priority scheduling. It introduces and defines the concept of a “robust” priority ordering: the most...
