In this paper we consider a nondeterministic computation by deterministic multi-head 2-way automata having a read-only access to an auxiliary memory. The memory contains additional data (a guess) and computation is successful iff it is…

An established measure of the expressive power of a given ReLU neural network is the number of linear regions into which it partitions the input space. There exist many different, non-equivalent definitions of what a linear region actually…

We consider the two categories of termination problems of quantum programs with nondeterminism: 1) Is an input of a program terminating with probability one under all schedulers? If not, how can a scheduler be synthesized to evidence the…

We study the problem of non-preemptively scheduling $n$ jobs, each job $j$ with a release time $t_j$, a deadline $d_j$, and a processing time $p_j$, on $m$ parallel identical machines. Cieliebak et al. (2004) considered the two constraints…
