Bounds on Non-surjective Cellular Automata
Abstract. Cellular automata (CA) are discrete, homogeneous dynamical systems. Non-surjective one-dimensional CA have nite words with no preimage (called orphans), pairs of dieren...

The Longest Path Problem Is Polynomial on Interval Graphs
The longest path problem is the problem of finding a path of maximum length in a graph. Polynomial solutions for this problem are known only for small classes of graphs, while it ...

The Prismoid of Resources
We define a framework called the prismoid of resources where each vertex refines the λ-calculus by using a different choice to make explicit or implicit (meta-level) the defin...

Self-indexed Text Compression Using Straight-Line Programs
Abstract. Straight-line programs (SLPs) offer powerful text compression by representing a text T[1, u] in terms of a restricted context-free grammar of n rules, so that T can be r...

On the Recognizability of Self-generating Sets
Let I be a finite set of integers and F be a finite set of maps of the form n → ki n + i with integer coefficients. For an integer base k ≥ 2, we study the k-recognizability ...

Query Automata for Nested Words
We study visibly pushdown automata (VPA) models for expressing and evaluating queries, expressed using MSO formulas, on words with a nesting structure (like XML documents). We de...

Private Capacities in Mechanism Design
Algorithmic mechanism design considers distributed settings where the participants, termed agents, cannot be assumed to follow the protocol but rather their own interests. The pro...

Snake-Deterministic Tiling Systems
The concept of determinism, while clear and well assessed for string languages, is still matter of research as far as picture languages are concerned. We introduce here a new kind ...

The Isomorphism Problem for k-Trees Is Complete for Logspace
Abstract. We show that k-tree isomorphism can be decided in logarithmic space by giving a logspace canonical labeling algorithm. This improves over the previous StUL upper bound an...

Size and Energy of Threshold Circuits Computing Mod Functions
Let C be a threshold logic circuit computing a Boolean function MODm : {0, 1}n → {0, 1}, where n ≥ 1 and m ≥ 2. Then C outputs “0” if the number of “1”s in an input ...
