Randomized versus Nondeterministic Communication Complexity
"... Our main result is the demonstration of a Boolean function f with nondeterministic and co-nondeterministic complexities O (log n) and c-error randomized complexity fl(log2 n), for O < c < 1/2. This is the first separation of this kind for a deci-sion problem. 1 ..."

Our main result is the demonstration of a Boolean function f with nondeterministic and co-nondeterministic complexities O (log n) and c-error randomized complexity fl(log2 n), for O < c < 1/2. This is the first separation of this kind for a deci-sion problem. 1

"... This note aims at providing a concise and precise Travellers Guide, Phrase Book or Reference Manual to the timed automata modeling for-malism introduced by Alur and Dill [7,8]. The note gives comprehensive definitions of timed automata, priced (or weighted) timed automata, and timed games and highli ..."

Abstraction-based algorithm for 2QBF
- In Proc. 14th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2011
, 2011
"... Abstract. Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBFs) enable standard representation of PSPACE problems. In particular, formulas with two quantifier levels (2QBFs) enable representing problems in the second level of the polynomial hierarchy (ΠP2, ΣP2). This paper proposes an algorithm for solving 2QBF satisf ..."

This represents an alternative approach to 2QBF satisfiability and, by extension, to solving deci-sion problems in the second level of polynomial hierarchy. In addition, the paper presents a comparison of a prototype implementing
Logic-based preference languages with intermediate complexity

, 2008
"... Logic-based preference representation languages are used to represent utility functions in combinatorial auctions, and can also be used for voting. A canonical problem in this con-text is, given a set of propositional formulas with associated weights, to find an assignment1 that maximizes the sum of ..."

of those weights which are associated to satisfied formulas. The general case is intractable, and natural restrictions of the lan-guages tend either to leave the complexity unchanged or to reduce it to triviality. After proposing a revision of the deci-sion problem considered in existing research, we use a
Reactive Contro l of Dynamic Progressive Processing
"... Progressive processing is a model of computa-tion that allows a system to tradeoff computa-tional resources against the quality of results. This paper generalizes the'existing model to maice it suitable for dynamic composition of in-formation retrieval techniques. The new frame-work addresses e ..."

We show how to construct an optimal meta-level controller for a single task based on solving a corresponding Markov deci-sion problem, and how to extend the solution to the case of multiple and dynamic tasks using
On the complexity of dominating set problems related to the minimum all-ones problem
, 2006
"... The minimum all-ones problem and the connected odd dominating set problem were shown to be NP-complete in different papers for general graphs, while they are solvable in linear time (or trivial) for trees, uni-cyclic graphs, and series-parallel graphs. The complexity of both problems when restricted ..."

Open Access Application and Research of Improved AHP Model in Employment of College Students
"... Abstract: Employment is a problem faced by every fresh graduate. Graduates from different majors choose the right job according to their own situations. However, typically graduates would find it difficult to make judgments of jobs, thus missing out their most appropriate chances. In this paper, the ..."

An AHP Model for Construction Contractor

Prequalification, i.e. the elimination of incompetent contractors from the bidding process according to a predetermined set of criteria, is a fre-quently pr ..."

The deci-sion problem is decomposed into qualitative criteria and sub-criteria that are further analyzed in quantitative indicators on which the candidate

The authors propose a high-speed chance-constrained pro-gramming method by aggregating the constraints that are generated by approximation of the problem in the sample average method. By applying the proposed method to real deci-sion problems, the authors confirmed that computational time
