Reference counting is a classical garbage collection method. Recently, a series of papers have extended the basic method to drastically reduce its notorious overhead and extend the...
In this paper, we consider the mechanism design version of the fractional variant of the scheduling problem on unrelated machines. We give a lower bound of 2 − 1/n for any fracti...

Abstract. We study – within the framework of propositional proof complexity – the problem of certifying unsatisfiability of CNF formulas under the promise that any satisfiabl...
This paper studies the gap between classical one-way communication complexity C(f) and its quantum counterpart Q(f), under the unbounded-error setting, i.e., it is enough that the ...
Motivated by the challenging task of designing “secure” vote storage mechanisms, we study information storage mechanisms that operate in extremely hostile environments. In suc...
