The Complexity of Model Checking Higher-Order Fixpoint Logic
Higher-Order Fixpoint Logic (HFL) is a hybrid of the simply typed λ-calculus and the modal µ-calculus. This makes it a highly expressive temporal logic that is capable of express...

On the Complexity of Constant Propagation
Constant propagation (CP) is one of the most widely used optimizations in practice (cf. [9]). Intuitively, it addresses the problem of statically detecting whether an expression al...

The Complexity of Causality and Responsibility for Query Answers and non-Answers
An answer to a query has a well-defined lineage expression (alternatively called how-provenance) that explains how the answer was derived. Recent work has also shown how to comput...

On the Hardness and Smoothed Complexity of Quasi-Concave Minimization
In this paper, we resolve the smoothed and approximative complexity of low-rank quasi-concave minimization, providing both upper and lower bounds. As an upper bound, we provide th...

Optimizing complex queries with multiple relation instances
Today's query processing engines do not take advantage of the multiple occurrences of a relation in a query to improve performance. Instead, each instance is treated as a dis...
