A moldable job is a job that can be executed on an arbitrary number of processors, and whose processing time depends on the number of processors allotted to it. A moldable job is monotone if its work doesn't decrease for an increasing…

Computational complexity theory contains a corpus of theorems and conjectures regarding the time a Turing machine will need to solve certain types of problems as a function of the input size. Nature {\em need not} be a Turing machine and,…

This paper explores and clarifies several issues surrounding Zeno machines and the issue of running a Turing machine for infinite time. Without a minimum hypothetical bound on physical conditions, any magical machine can be created, and…

The bin packing problem is to find the minimum number of bins of size one to pack a list of items with sizes $a_1,..., a_n$ in $(0,1]$. Using uniform sampling, which selects a random element from the input list each time, we develop a…

We study the space complexity of the following problem: For a fixed regular language $L$, we receive a stream of symbols and want to test membership of a sliding window of size $n$ in $L$. For deterministic streaming algorithms we prove a…

We present a generalization of the Viterbi algorithm for identifying the path with minimal (resp. maximal) weight in a n-tape weighted finite-state machine (n-WFSM), that accepts a given n-tuple of input strings (s_1,... s_n). It also…

We extend the use of random evolving sets to time-varying conductance models and utilize it to provide tight heat kernel upper bounds. It yields the transience of any uniformly lazy random walk, on Z^d, d>=3, equipped with uniformly bounded…

The problem of inclusion of the language accepted by timed automaton $A$ (e.g., the implementation) in the language accepted by $B$ (e.g., the specification) is, in general, undecidable in the class of non-deterministic timed automata. In…

A graph with n vertices is 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once, and is optimal if it has the maximum of 4n-8 edges. We show that optimal 1-planar graphs can be recognized in linear time. Our…

We describe a method for proving non-looping non-termination, that is, of term rewriting systems that do not admit looping reductions. As certificates of non-termination, we employ regular (tree) automata.

Given a plane undirected graph $G$ with non-negative edge weights and a set of $k$ terminal pairs on the external face, it is shown in Takahashi et al. (Algorithmica, 16, 1996, pp. 339-357) that the union $U$ of $k$ non-crossing shortest…
