— We explore the control synthesis problem for a robot dynamically manipulating an object in the presence of multiple frictional contacts. Contacts occur both between the object ...

We study the branching program complexity of the tree evaluation problem, introduced in [BCM+09a] as a candidate for separating NL from LogCFL. The input to the problem is a roote...

We address the problem of lowering the buyer’s expected payments in shortest path auctions, where the buyer’s goal is to purchase a path in a graph in which edges are owned by...
A well-studied problem in fault diagnosis is to identify the set of all good processors in a given set {p1, p2, . . . , pn} of processors via asking some processors pi to test whet...
A problem arising in statistical data analysis and pattern recognition is to find a longest interval free of data points, given a set of data points in the unit interval. We use t...
