We prove that negative hyper-resolution using any liftable and well-founded ordering refinement is a sound and complete procedure for answering queries in disjunctive logic program...
When logic programming is based on the proof theory of intuitionistic logic, it is natural to allow implications in goals and in the bodies of clauses. Attempting to prove a goal ...
The IP theorem, which asserts that IP = PSPACE (Lund et. al., and Shamir, in J. ACM 39(4)), is one of the major achievements of complexity theory. The known proofs of the theorem ...
Abstract: We present a new method for proving lower bounds on quantum query algorithms. The new method is an extension of the adversary method, by analyzing the eigenspace structur...
We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...
