We study the complexity of approximating the VC dimension of a collection of sets, when the sets are encoded succinctly by a small circuit. We show that this problem is • Σp 3-...
A fragmentary pattern is a multiset of non-empty strings, and it matches a string w if all the strings in it occur within w without any overlaps. We study some fundamental issues o...

The complexity of the reachability problem for live and safe free-choice Petri nets has been open for several years. Several partial results seemed to indicate that the problem is...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
We prove that the problem of computing an Arrow-Debreu market equilibrium is PPAD-complete even when all traders use additively separable, piecewise-linear and concave utility fun...
