A Linguistic Characterization of Bounded Oracle Computation and Probabilistic Polynomial Time
We present a higher-order functional notation for polynomial-time computation with arbitrary 0; 1-valued oracle. This provides a linguistic characterization for classes such as np...

Quantum Lower Bounds by Polynomials
We examine the number T of queries that a quantum network requires to compute several Boolean functions on f0;1gN in the black-box model. We show that, in the blackbox model, the ...

Parametric and Kinetic Minimum Spanning Trees
We consider the parametric minimum spanning tree problem, in which we are given a graph with edge weights that are linear functions of a parameter and wish to compute the sequenc...

Exponential Separations between Restricted Resolution and Cutting Planes Proof Systems
We prove an exponential lower bound for tree-like Cutting Planes refutations of a set of clauses which has polynomial size resolution refutations. This implies an exponential sepa...

The Complexity of Acyclic Conjunctive Queries
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
