We study the robustness of complete sets for various complexity classes. A complete set A is robust if for any f(n)-dense set S ∈ P, A−S is still complete, where f(n) ranges f...
Partially preordered belief bases are very convenient for an efficient representation of incomplete knowledge. They offer flexibility and avoid to compare unrelated pieces of inf...
Although the satisfiability problem (SAT) is NP-complete, state-of-the-art solvers for SAT can solve instances that are considered to be very hard. Emerging applications demand t...
We propose a model of computation where a Turing machine is given random access to an advice string. With random access, an advice string of exponential length becomes meaningful ...
Current Genetic Algorithms can efficiently address order-k separable problems, in which the order of the linkage is restricted to a low value k. Outside this class, there exist hie...
