Stratified Context Unification Is NP-Complete
Context Unification is the problem to decide for a given set of second-order equations E where all second-order variables are unary, whether there exists a unifier, such that for e...

Hardness of Minimizing and Learning DNF Expressions
We study the problem of finding the minimum size DNF formula for a function f : {0, 1}d → {0, 1} given its truth table. We show that unless NP ⊆ DTIME(npoly(log n) ), there i...

Extending the Point Distribution Model Using Polar Coordinates
The Point Distribution Model (PDM) has already proved useful for many tasks involving the location or tracking of deformable objects. A principal limitation lies in the fact that n...

Non-commutative circuits and the sum-of-squares problem
We initiate a direction for proving lower bounds on the size of non-commutative arithmetic circuits. This direction is based on a connection between lower bounds on the size of no...

Efficient Bit Allocation for Dependent Video Coding
A steepest descent based bit allocation method with polynomial iteration complexity for minimizing the sum of frame distortions under a total bit rate constraint is presented for ...
