Positive Versions of Polynomial Time
We show that restricting a number of characterizations of the complexity class P to be positive (in natural ways) results in the same class of (monotone) problems which we denote ...

On Smale's 17th Problem: A Probabilistic Positive Solution
Smale's 17th Problem asks "Can a zero of n complex polynomial equations in n unknowns be found approximately, on the average [for a suitable probability measure on the s...

Fixed-Point Definability and Polynomial Time
My talk will be a survey of recent results about the quest for a logic capturing polynomial time. In a fundamental study of database query languages, Chandra and Harel [4] first ra...

Polynomial-Time Identification of Multiple Context-Free Languages from Positive Data and Membership Queries
This paper presents an efficient algorithm that identifies a rich subclass of multiple context-free languages in the limit from positive data and membership queries by observing wh...

Approximating Min-Max (Regret) Versions of Some Polynomial Problems
Abstract. While the complexity of min-max and min-max regret versions of most classical combinatorial optimization problems has been thoroughly investigated, there are very few stu...
