What Makes the Arc-Preserving Subsequence Problem Hard?
Abstract. Given two arc-annotated sequences (S, P) and (T, Q) representing RNA structures, the Arc-Preserving Subsequence (APS) problem asks whether (T, Q) can be obtained from (S,...

The provably total NP search problems of weak second order bounded arithmetic
We define a new NP search problem, the “local improvement” principle, about labellings of an acyclic, bounded-degree graph. We show that, provably in PV, it characterizes the...

Decomposing Coverings and the Planar Sensor Cover Problem
We show that a k-fold covering using translates of an arbitrary convex polygon can be decomposed into Omega(k) covers (using an efficient algorithm). We generalize this result to ...

Combinatorial Proof that Subprojective Constraint Satisfaction Problems are NP-Complete
Abstract. We introduce a new general polynomial-time constructionthe fibre construction- which reduces any constraint satisfaction problem CSP(H) to the constraint satisfaction pr...

On universally easy classes for NP-complete problems
We explore the natural question of whether all NP-complete problems have a common restriction under which they are polynomially solvable. More precisely, we study what languages a...
