We show that the complexity of minimal monotone circuits implementing a monotone version of the permutation operator on $n$ boolean vectors of length $q$ is $\Theta(qn\log n)$. In particular, we obtain an alternative way to prove the known…

In this survey, we address the worst-case, average-case, and generic-case time complexity of the word problem and some other algorithmic problems in several classes of groups and show that it is often the case that the average-case…

We provide a deterministic CONGEST algorithm to constant factor approximate the minimum dominating set on graphs of bounded arboricity in $O(\log n)$ rounds. This improves over the well-known randomized algorithm of Lenzen and…

A distributed algorithm is self-stabilizing if after faults and attacks hit the system and place it in some arbitrary global state, the systems recovers from this catastrophic situation without external intervention in finite time.…

Kolmogorov complexity and algorithmic probability are defined only up to an additive resp. multiplicative constant, since their actual values depend on the choice of the universal reference computer. In this paper, we analyze a natural…

We show in this note that the average number of terms in the optimal double-base number system is in Omega(n / log n). The lower bound matches the upper bound shown earlier by Dimitrov, Imbert, and Mishra (Math. of Comp. 2008).

It is well known that computing a minimum DFA consistent with a given set of positive and negative examples is NP-hard. Previous work has identified conditions on the input sample under which the problem becomes tractable or remains hard.…

Given a reference computer, Kolmogorov complexity is a well defined function on all binary strings. In the standard approach, however, only the asymptotic properties of such functions are considered because they do not depend on the…

For any synchronizing $n$-state deterministic automaton, \v{C}ern\'{y} conjectures the existence of a synchronizing word of length at most $(n-1)^2$. We prove that there exists a synchronizing word of length at most $2n^2 - 7n + 7$ for…
