We introduce tree-width for first order formulae , fotw(). We show that computing fotw is fixed-parameter tractable with parameter fotw. Moreover, we show that on classes of formul...
The evolution of mobile technologies, like web-enable cellphones, PDAs and wireless networks, makes it now possible to use these technologies for collaborative work through web-bas...
We consider a general approach to the hoary problem of (im)proving circuit lower bounds. We define notions of hardness condensing and hardness extraction, in analogy to the corres...
Increasing application demands are pushing database management systems (DBMSs) towards providing adequate and efficient support for content-based retrieval over multimedia objects...
For various polynomial-time reducibilities r, this paper asks whether being r-reducible to a sparse set is a broader notion than being r-equivalent to a sparse set. Although distin...
