Fixed-Point Definability and Polynomial Time on Chordal Graphs and Line Graphs
The question of whether there is a logic that captures polynomial time was formulated by Yuri Gurevich in 1988. It is still wide open and regarded as one of the main open problems...

On the Size of Reactive Plans
One of the most widespread approaches to reactive planning is Schoppers' universal plans. We propose a stricter definition of universal plans which guarantees a weak notion o...

Tractable Bayesian Learning of Tree Belief Networks
In this paper we present decomposable priors, a family of priors over structure and parameters of tree belief nets for which Bayesian learning with complete observations is tracta...

Approximability of Minimum AND-Circuits
Given a set of monomials, the Minimum AND-Circuit problem asks for a circuit that computes these monomials using AND-gates of fan-in two and being of minimum size. We prove that t...

On the Maximum Span of Fixed-Angle Chains
Soss proved that it is NP-hard to find the maximum flat span of a fixed-angle polygonal chain: the largest distance achievable between the endpoints in a planar embedding. These f...

Combinatorial Auctions with Structured Item Graphs
Combinatorial auctions (CAs) are important mechanisms for allocating interrelated items. Unfortunately, winner determination is NP-complete unless there is special structure. We s...

Deciding Equivalence of Top-Down XML Transformations in Polynomial Time
Many useful XML transformations can be formulated through deterministic top-down tree transducers. A canonical form for such transducers is presented which allows to decide equiva...

Compressed Conjugacy and the Word Problem for Outer Automorphism Groups of Graph Groups
Abstract. It is shown that for graph groups (right-angled Artin groups) the conjugacy problem as well as a restricted version of the simultaneous conjugacy problem can be solved in...

Bypassing Combinatorial Protections: Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Single-Peaked Electorates
For many election systems, bribery (and related) attacks have been shown NP-hard using constructions on combinatorially rich structures such as partitions and covers. It is import...

Models for Railway Track Allocation
The optimal track allocation problem (OPTRA) is to find, in a given railway network, a conflict free set of train routes of maximum value. We study two types of integer programmi...
