Learning Unary Automata
We determine the complexity of learning problems for unary regular languages. We begin by investigating the minimum consistent dfa (resp. nfa) problem which is known not to be app...

New results on optimizing rooted triplets consistency
Abstract. A set of phylogenetic trees with overlapping leaf sets is consistent if it can be merged without conflicts into a supertree. In this paper, we study the polynomial-time a...

Hardness of Approximating the Minimum Distance of a Linear Code
We show that the minimum distance of a linear code is not approximable to within any constant factor in random polynomial time (RP), unless nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) eq...

A fully polynomial time approximation scheme for timing driven minimum cost buffer insertion
As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay has become the bottleneck of the circuit timing. As one of the most powerful techniques for interconnect optimiz...
