Possibilistic-Based Argumentation: An Answer Set Programming Approach
In many fields of automated information processing it becomes crucial to consider together imprecise, uncertain or inconsistent information. Argumentation theory is a suitable fr...

Nearly Tight Low Stretch Spanning Trees
We prove that any graph G with n points has a distribution T over spanning trees such that for any edge (u, v) the expected stretch ET ∼T [dT (u, v)/dG(u, v)] is bounded by ˜O(...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Euclidean Steiner Forest
We give a randomized O(n polylog n)-time approximation scheme for the Steiner forest problem in the Euclidean plane. For every fixed ǫ > 0 and given n terminals in the plane ...

Fast Modular Composition in any Characteristic
We give an algorithm for modular composition of degree n univariate polynomials over a finite field Fq requiring n1+o(1) log1+o(1) q bit operations; this had earlier been achiev...

Arithmetic Circuits: A Chasm at Depth Four
We show that proving exponential lower bounds on depth four arithmetic circuits imply exponential lower bounds for unrestricted depth arithmetic circuits. In other words, for expo...
