We study extensions of first-order logic over the reals with different types of transitive-closure operators as query languages for constraint databases that can be described by...
Unless we resolve the P vs NP question, we are unable to say whether there is an algorithm (acceptor) that accepts Boolean tautologies in polynomial time and does not accept non-ta...
We consider the problem of maintaining a large matching and a small vertex cover in a dynamically changing graph. Each update to the graph is either an edge deletion or an edge in...
