We study the lift-and-project procedures of Lov\'asz and Schrijver for 0-1 integer programming problems. We prove that the procedure using the positive semidefiniteness constraint is not better than the one without it, in the worst case.…

The question whether an operator belongs to the domain of some singular trace is addressed, together with the dual question whether an operator does not belong to the domain of some singular trace. We show that the answers are positive in…

Alternating automata have been widely used to model and verify systems that handle data from finite domains, such as communication protocols or hardware. The main advantage of the alternating model of computation is that complementation is…

The decision time of an infinite time algorithm is the supremum of its halting times over all real inputs. The decision time of a set of reals is the least decision time of an algorithm that decides the set; semidecision times of…

We present a novel analysis of semidefinite programs (SDPs) with positive duality gaps, i.e. different optimal values in the primal and dual problems. These SDPs are extremely pathological, often unsolvable, and also serve as models of more…
