Adjustment Criteria in Causal Diagrams: An Algorithmic Perspective
Identifying and controlling bias is a key problem in empirical sciences. Causal diagram theory provides graphical criteria for deciding whether and how causal effects can be iden...

Bounds on the cleaning times of robot vacuums
We show a robot vacuum using a protocol that next cleans the "dirtiest" incident edge may take exponential time to clean a network. This disproves a conjecture of Messing...

P systems with active membranes: trading time for space
We consider recognizer P systems having three polarizations associated to the membranes, and we show that they are able to solve the PSPACEcomplete problem Quantified 3SAT when wo...

A Lower Complexity Bound for Propositional Dynamic Logic with Intersection
This paper shows that satisfiability for Propositional Dynamic Logic with Intersection is EXPSPACE-hard. The proof uses a reduction from the word problem for alternating, exponent...

Worst-case Optimal Conjunctive Query Answering for an Expressive Description Logic without Inverses
Answering conjunctive queries (CQs) has been recognized as a key task for the usage of Description Logics (DLs) in a number of applications, and has thus been studied by many auth...

Pseudorandom Generators, Measure Theory, and Natural Proofs
We prove that if strong pseudorandom number generators exist, then the class of languages that have polynomialsized circuits (P/poly) is not measurable within exponential time, in...

On the role of composition in XQuery
Nonrecursive XQuery is known to be hard for nondeterministic exponential time. Thus it is commonly believed that any algorithm for evaluating XQuery has to require exponential amo...
