We convert, within polynomial-time and sequential processing, an NP-Complete Problem into a real-variable problem of minimizing a sum of Rational Linear Functions constrained by an Asymptotic-Linear-Program. The coefficients and constants…

The methods used to establish PSPACE-bounds for modal logics can roughly be grouped into two classes: syntax driven methods establish that exhaustive proof search can be performed in polynomial space whereas semantic approaches directly…

A k-gap is a finite k-sequence of pairwise disjoint monotone families of infinite subsets of N mixed in such a way that we cannot find a partition of N such that each family is trival on one piece of the partition. We prove that, relative…

We introduce two variants of computation tree logic CTL based on team semantics: an asynchronous one and a synchronous one. For both variants we investigate the computational complexity of the satisfiability as well as the model checking…

We show that two important problems that have applications in computational biology are ASP-complete, which implies that, given a solution to a problem, it is NP-complete to decide if another solution exists. We show first that a variation…

This paper studies the modal logical aspects of provability predicates and consistency statements for theories of arithmetic. First, we provide an overview of previous works on the correspondence between various derivability conditions for…

We investigate the computational properties of the spatial algebra RCC-5 which is a restricted version of the RCC framework for spatial reasoning. The satisfiability problem for RCC-5 is known to be NP-complete but not much is known about…

(k,s)-SAT is the satisfiability problem restricted to instances where each clause has exactly k literals and every variable occurs at most s times. It is known that there exists a function f such that for s\leq f(k) all (k,s)-SAT instances…

One way of suggesting that an NP problem may not be NP-complete is to show that it is in the class UP. We suggest an analogous new approach---weaker in strength of evidence but more broadly applicable---to suggesting that concrete~NP…

We call a CNF formula linear if any two clauses have at most one variable in common. Let Linear k-SAT be the problem of deciding whether a given linear k-CNF formula is satisfiable. Here, a k-CNF formula is a CNF formula in which every…
