Characterization of Context-Free Languages with Polynomially Bounded Ambiguity
Abstract. We prove that the class of context-free languages with polynomially bounded ambiguity (PCFL) is the closure of the class of unambiguous languages (UCFL) under projections...

On the Approximability of the Steiner Tree Problem
We show that it is not possible to approximate the minimum Steiner tree problem within 1 + 1 162 unless RP = NP. The currently best known lower bound is 1 + 1 400. The reduction i...

The Size of Power Automata
We describe a class of simple transitive semiautomata that exhibit full exponential blow-up during deterministic simulation. For arbitrary semiautomata we show that it is PSPACE-c...

From Bidirectionality to Alternation
We describe an explicit simulation of 2-way nondeterministic automata by 1-way alternating automata with quadratic blow-up. We first describe the construction for automata on fin...

News from the Online Traveling Repairman
In the traveling repairman problem (Trp), a tour must be found through every one of a set of points (cities) in some metric space such that the weighted sum of completion times of ...

Playing Games with Algorithms: Algorithmic Combinatorial Game Theory
Combinatorial games lead to several interesting, clean problems in algorithms and complexity theory, many of which remain open. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview...
