The collision problem is to decide whether a function X : {1, . . . , n} {1, . . . , n} is one-to-one or two-to-one, given that one of these is the case. We show a lower bound of...
We present a new algorithm for computing the winning region of a parity game played over the configuration graph of a pushdown system. Our method gives the first extension of the...
Muchnik’s theorem about simple conditional descriptions states that for all strings a and b there exists a short program p transforming a to b that has the least possible length ...

— Induction has been studied in model checking for proving the validity of safety properties, i.e., showing the absence of counterexamples. To our knowledge, induction has not be...
Evolutionary algorithms applied in real domain should profit from information about the local fitness function curvature. This paper presents an initial study of an evolutionary...
