We prove a lower bound for swapping the order of Arthur and Merlin in two-round MerlinArthur games using black-box techniques. Namely, we show that any AM-game requires time (t2 )...
The problem of partitioning a partially ordered set into a minimum number of chains is a well-known problem. In this paper we study a generalization of this problem, where we not ...
Abstract. Given a directed graph G = (V, E) and an integer k 1, a ktransitive-closure-spanner (k-TC-spanner) of G is a directed graph H = (V, EH ) that has (1) the same transitive...

The central goal of data stream algorithms is to process massive streams of data using sublinear storage space. Motivated by work in the database community on outsourcing database...
Abstract. Classical network flow theory allows decomposition of flow into several chunks of arbitrary sizes traveling through the network on different paths. In the first part ...
