Proof assistants based on type theories, such as Coq and Lego, allow users to omit subterms on input that can be inferred automatically. While those mechanisms are well known, ad-h...
The aim of this note is to point out some combinatorial applications of a lemma of Scarf, proved first in the context of game theory. The usefulness of the lemma in combinatorics...
In 2000 Alber et al. [SWAT 2000 ] obtained the first parameterized subexponential algorithm on undirected planar graphs by showing that k-DOMINATING SET is solvable in time 2O( ...

A discrete distribution D over Σ1 × · · · × Σn is called (non-uniform) k-wise independent if for any set of k indexes {i1, . . . , ik} and for any z1 ∈ Σi1 , . . . , zk ...
