We consider simplified, monotone versions of Not-All-Equal 3-Sat and 3-Sat, variants of the famous Satisfiability Problem where each clause is made up of exactly three distinct literals. We show that Not-All-Equal 3-Sat remains NP-complete…

Inclusion dependencies form one of the most widely used dependency classes. We extend existing results on the axiomatization and computational complexity of their implication problem to two extended variants. We present an alternative…

We show that the permanent of a matrix is a linear combination of determinants of block diagonal matrices which are simple functions of the original matrix. To prove this, we first show a more general identity involving \alpha-permanents:…

Sumsets are central objects in additive combinatorics. In 2007, Granville asked whether one can efficiently recognize whether a given set $S$ is a sumset, i.e. whether there is a set $A$ such that $A+A=S$. Granville suggested an algorithm…

We study exponential sums whose coefficients are completely multiplicative and belong to the complex unit disc. Our main result shows that such a sum has substantial cancellation unless the coefficient function is essentially a Dirichlet…

VBP is the class of polynomial families that can be computed by the determinant of a symbolic matrix of the form $A_0 + \sum_{i=1}^n A_ix_i$ where the size of each $A_i$ is polynomial in the number of variables (equivalently, computable by…
