Many algorithms on data structures such as terms (finitely branching trees) are naturally implemented by second-order recursion: A first-order procedure f passes itself as an arg...
We present the first polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASes) for the following subset-connectivity problems in edge-weighted graphs of bounded genus: Steiner tree, low-conn...

Motivated by applications in software verification, we explore automated reasoning about the non-disjoint combination of theories of infinitely many finite structures, where the...
We present typing rules for the Web query language Xcerpt. The rules provide a descriptive type system: the typing of a program is an ation of its semantics. The rules can also be ...
We prove strong noise-tolerance properties of a potential-based boosting algorithm, similar to MadaBoost (Domingo and Watanabe, 2000) and SmoothBoost (Servedio, 2003). Our analysi...
