Consider a set of labels $L$ and a set of trees ${\mathcal T} = \{{\mathcal T}^{(1), {\mathcal T}^{(2), ..., {\mathcal T}^{(k) \$ where each tree ${\mathcal T}^{(i)$ is distinctly leaf-labeled by some subset of $L$. One fundamental problem…
The paper introduces a novel algorithm for computing the output admissible set of linear discrete-time systems subject to input saturation. The proposed method takes advantage of the piecewise-affine dynamics to propagate the output…
In this paper we consider $m$ ($m \geq 1$)conjunctions of Max-atoms that is atoms of the form $\max(z,y) + r \geq x$, where the offset $r$ is a real constant and $x,y,z$ are variables. We show that the Max-atom problem (MAP) belongs to…
Many combinatorial optimisation problems can be modelled as valued constraint satisfaction problems. In this paper, we present a polynomial-time algorithm solving the valued constraint satisfaction problem for a fixed number of variables…
Satisfiability of Boolean circuits is among the most known and important problems in theoretical computer science. This problem is NP-complete in general but becomes polynomial time when restricted either to monotone gates or linear gates.…
The $k$-Maximum Dispersion Problem with Cardinality Constraints ($k$-MDCC) asks for a partition of a given item set with pairwise dissimilarities into $k$ cardinality-constrained groups such that the minimum pairwise intra-group…
We consider a set system $(V, {\mathcal C}\subseteq 2^V)$ on a finite set $V$ of elements, where we call a set $C\in {\mathcal C}$ a component. We assume that two oracles $\mathrm{L}_1$ and $\mathrm{L}_2$ are available, where given two…
We address the problem of the best uniform approximation by linear combinations of a finite system of functions. If the system is Chebyshev and the problem is unconstrained, then the classical Remez algorithm provides a fast and precise…
Given a dynamical system with constrained outputs, the maximal admissible set (MAS) is defined as the set of all initial conditions such that the output constraints are satisfied for all time. It has been previously shown that for…
An improved characteristic set algorithm for solving Boolean polynomial systems is proposed. This algorithm is based on the idea of converting all the polynomials into monic ones by zero decomposition, and using additions to obtain…
Measures of circuit complexity are usually analyzed to ensure the computation of Boolean functions with economy and efficiency. One of these measures is energy complexity, which is related to the number of gates that output true in a…
We show that every optimum basis of a finite closure system, in D.Maier's sense, is also right-side optimum, which is a parameter of a minimum CNF representation of a Horn Boolean function. New parameters for the size of the binary part are…
This thesis investigates the extent to which the optimal value of a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) can be approximated by some sentence of fixed point logic with counting (FPC). It is known that, assuming $\mathsf{P} \neq…
This paper is about minimum cost constrained selection of inputs and outputs for generic arbitrary pole placement. The input-output set is constrained in the sense that the set of states that each input can influence and the set of states…
In this paper, we will find a pseudopolynomial algorithm to solve $Qm \mid \mid L_{\max}$ and then we will prove that it is impossible to get any constant-factor approximation in polynomial time, and thus also impossible to have a PTAS for…
In the maximum constraint satisfaction problem (MAX CSP), one is given a finite collection of (possibly weighted) constraints on overlapping sets of variables, and the goal is to assign values from a given finite domain to the variables so…
This paper addresses the resilience of large-scale closed-loop structured systems in the sense of arbitrary pole placement when subject to failure of feedback links. Given a structured system with input, output, and feedback matrices, we…
Several concept learning problems can be regarded as special cases of half-space separation in abstract closure systems over finite ground sets. For the typical scenario that the closure system is implicitly given via a closure operator, we…
This paper develops a unified methodology for probabilistic analysis and optimal control design for jump diffusion processes defined by polynomials. For such systems, the evolution of the moments of the state can be described via a system…
It is well known that the containment problem (as well as the equivalence problem) for semilinear sets is $\log$-complete in $\Pi_2^p$. It had been shown quite recently that already the containment problem for multi-dimensional linear sets…
