Tree edit distance is a well-studied measure of dissimilarity between rooted trees with node labels. It can be computed in $O(n^3)$ time [Demaine, Mozes, Rossman, and Weimann, ICALP 2007], and fine-grained hardness results suggest that the…

We prove that uniform circuits of size n can be evaluated in space O(n/log n). Thus, Space(O(n)) is not in uniform Size(o(n*log n)). For uniformity, we only require that the circuit is O(n/log n)-Space uniform. We also generalize the…

We consider the \textsc{Edge Multiway Cut} problem on planar graphs. It is known that this can be solved in $n^{O(\sqrt{t})}$ time [Klein, Marx, ICALP 2012] and not in $n^{o(\sqrt{t})}$ time under the Exponential Time Hypothesis [Marx,…
