The Complexity of Model Checking (Collapsible) Higher-Order Pushdown Systems
We study (collapsible) higher-order pushdown systems -- theoretically robust and well-studied models of higher-order programs -- along with their natural subclass called (collapsi...

Finding Sparser Directed Spanners
A spanner of a graph is a sparse subgraph that approximately preserves distances in the original graph. More precisely, a subgraph H = (V, EH ) is a k-spanner of a graph G = (V, E...

Fast equivalence-checking for normed context-free processes
Bisimulation equivalence is decidable in polynomial time over normed graphs generated by a context-free grammar. We present a new algorithm, working in time O(n5 ), thus improving...

The effect of girth on the kernelization complexity of Connected Dominating Set
In the Connected Dominating Set problem we are given as input a graph G and a positive integer k, and are asked if there is a set S of at most k vertices of G such that S is a dom...

Satisfiability of Acyclic and Almost Acyclic CNF Formulas
We study the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT) on classes of CNF formulas (formulas in Conjunctive Normal Form) that obey certain structural restrictions in terms of thei...
