Matroid theory gives us powerful techniques for understanding combinatorial optimization problems and for designing polynomial-time algorithms. However, several natural matroid pr...
We consider the problem of bounded-error quantum state identification: given either state 0 or state 1, we are required to output `0', `1' or `?' ("don't ...

Constant propagation (CP) is one of the most widely used optimizations in practice (cf. [9]). Intuitively, it addresses the problem of statically detecting whether an expression al...
Abstract. The ability to cooperate on common tasks in a distributed setting is key to solving a broad range of computation problems ranging from distributed search such as SETI to ...

The disc covering problem asks to cover a set of points on the plane with a minimum number of fix-sized discs. We develop an O(n(log n)2 (log log n)2 ) deterministic time 2.8334-a...
