Abstract. An approach based on term rewriting techniques for the automated termination analysis of imperative programs operating on integers is presented. An imperative program is ...
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...
Random regular graphs play a central role in combinatorics and theoretical computer science. In this paper, we analyze a simple algorithm introduced by Steger and Wormald [10] and...
We consider a fundamental problem in computational learning theory: learning an arbitrary Boolean function which depends on an unknown set of k out of n Boolean variables. We give...

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...
