Strongly pan-factorial property in cages
A (k; g)-graph is a k-regular graph with girth g. A (k; g)-cage is a (k; g)-graph with the least number of vertices. In this note, we show that (k; g)-cage has an r-factor of girt...

Estimating the number of graphs containing very long induced paths
Let P(n, k) denote the number of graphs on n + k vertices that contain Pn, a path on n vertices, as an induced subgraph. In this note we will find upper and lower bounds for P(n, ...

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...

Strategyproof deterministic lotteries under broadcast communication
The design of deterministic and fair mechanisms for selection among a set of self-motivated agents based solely on these agents' input is a major challenge in multiagent syst...

Representing Knowledge about Norms
Norms are essential to extend inference: inferences based on norms are far richer than those based on logical implications. In the recent decades, much effort has been devoted to r...

Coloured Petri Nets Extended with Channels for Synchronous Communication
This paper shows how Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets) can be extended to support synchronous communication. We introduce coloured communication channels through which transitions are...

Foundations for the Implementation of Higher-Order Subtyping
We show how to implement a calculus with higher-order subtyping and subkinding by replacing uses of implicit subsumption with explicit coercions. To ensure this can be done, a pol...

How MDA Can Help Designing Component- and Aspect-based Applications
Distributed systems are inherently complex, and therefore difficult to design and develop. Experience shows that new technologies—such as components, aspects, and application f...

Analyzing Kleinberg's (and other) small-world Models
We analyze the properties of Small-World networks, where links are much more likely to connect “neighbor nodes” than distant nodes. In particular, our analysis provides new re...

A fast method to derive minimum SOPs for decomposable functions
- This paper shows that divide-and-conquer derives a minimum sum-of-products expression (MSOP) of functions that have an AND bi-decomposition when at least one of the subfunctions ...
