The Complexity of Unions of Disjoint Sets
This paper is motivated by the open question whether the union of two disjoint NPcomplete sets always is NP-complete. We discover that such unions retain much of the complexity of...

Boundary Layer Meshing for Viscous Flows in Complex Domains
High reynolds number ow simulations exhibit strong gradients normal to walls and across shear layers requiring much ner resolution of the solution in some directions compared to o...

Complexity of Unification in Free Groups and Free Semi-groups
The exponent of periodicity is an important factor in estimates of complexity of word-unification algorithms. We prove that the exponent of periodicity of a minimal solution of a w...

A Soft Constraint of Equality: Complexity and Approximability
We introduce the SoftAllEqual global constraint, which maximizes the number of equalities holding between pairs of assignments to a set of variables. We study the computational com...
