More than a decade ago, Moller and Tofts published their seminal work on relating processes that are annotated with lower time bounds, with respect to speed. Their paper has left o...
We show how any BSP tree TP for the endpoints of a set of n disjoint segments in the plane can be used to obtain a BSP tree of size O(n · depth(TP )) for the segments themselves, ...
We consider hypotheses about nondeterministic computation that have been studied in different contexts and shown to have interesting consequences: • The measure hypothesis: NP d...
Abstract Abstract. In this paper we improve the analysis of approximation algorithms based on semidefinite programming for the maximum graph partitioning problems MAX-k-CUT, MAX-k...
