The (axis-parallel) stabbing number of a given set of line segments is the maximum number of segments that can be intersected by any one (axis-parallel) line. We investigate probl...
It is well-known that, of all graphs with edge-density p, the random graph G(n, p) contains the smallest density of copies of Kt,t, the complete bipartite graph of size 2t. Since ...
In cooperative multi-agent systems, roles are used as a design concept when creating large systems, they are known to facilitate specialization of agents, and they can help to redu...
We examine the power of incremental evaluation systems that use an SQL-like language for maintaining recursively-de ned views. We show that recursive queries such as transitive clo...
We revisit the following open problem in information-theoretic cryptography: Does the communication complexity of unconditionally secure computation depend on the computational com...
