We study the satisfiability problem for a modal logic expressing knowing-how assertions, which captures an agent's ability to achieve a given goal under the standard semantics based on linear plans. Our main result shows that satisfiability…

We study monitorable sets from a topological standpoint. In particular, we use descriptive set theory to describe the complexity of the family of monitorable sets in a countable space $X$. When $X$ is second countable, we observe that the…

This paper considers the realizability of quantum gates from the perspective of information complexity. Since the gate is a physical device that must be controlled classically, it is subject to random error. We define the complexity of gate…

We study $q$-SAT in the multistage model, focusing on the linear-time solvable 2-SAT. Herein, given a sequence of $q$-CNF fomulas and a non-negative integer $d$, the question is whether there is a sequence of satisfying truth assignments…

We show that two important problems that have applications in computational biology are ASP-complete, which implies that, given a solution to a problem, it is NP-complete to decide if another solution exists. We show first that a variation…

In complexity theory, there exists a famous unsolved problem whether NP can be P or not. In this paper, we discuss this aspect in SAT (satisfiability) problem, and it is shown that the SAT can be solved in plynomial time by means of quantum…

We consider the problem of Data Flow Analysis over monotone data flow frameworks with a finite lattice. The problem of computing the Maximum Fixed Point (MFP) solution is shown to be P-complete even when the lattice has just four elements.…

This work deals with the definability problem by quantifier-free first-order formulas over a finite algebraic structure. We show the problem to be coNP-complete and present two decision algorithms based on a semantical characterization of…

For Boolean satisfiability problems, the structure of the solution space is characterized by the solution graph, where the vertices are the solutions, and two solutions are connected iff they differ in exactly one variable. Motivated by…

We call a first-order formula one-dimensional if its every maximal block of existential (universal) quantifiers leaves at most one variable free. We consider the one-dimensional restrictions of the guarded fragment, GF, and the tri-guarded…
