Additive Combinatorics and its Applications in Theoretical Computer Science
Additive combinatorics (or perhaps more accurately, arithmetic combinatorics) is a branch of mathematics which lies at the intersection of combinatorics, number theory, Fourier analysis and ergodic theory.

Verification of Ptime Reducibility for system F Terms: Type Inference in Dual Light Affine Logic [PDF]
In a previous work Baillot and Terui introduced Dual light affine logic (DLAL) as a variant of Light linear logic suitable for guaranteeing complexity properties on lambda calculus terms: all typable terms can be evaluated in polynomial time by beta ...

Resolution Trees with Lemmas: Resolution Refinements that Characterize DLL Algorithms with Clause Learning [PDF]
Resolution refinements called w-resolution trees with lemmas (WRTL) and with input lemmas (WRTI) are introduced. Dag-like resolution is equivalent to both WRTL and WRTI when there is no regularity condition.

Representations of Stream Processors Using Nested Fixed Points [PDF]
We define representations of continuous functions on infinite streams of discrete values, both in the case of discrete-valued functions, and in the case of stream-valued functions.

Flow Faster: Efficient Decision Algorithms for Probabilistic Simulations [PDF]
Strong and weak simulation relations have been proposed for Markov chains, while strong simulation and strong probabilistic simulation relations have been proposed for probabilistic automata.

A Reduction-Preserving Completion for Proving Confluence of Non-Terminating Term Rewriting Systems [PDF]
We give a method to prove confluence of term rewriting systems that contain non-terminating rewrite rules such as commutativity and associativity.

The Threshold for Subgroup Profiles to Agree is Logarithmic
For primes p > 2 and e > 3 there are at least pe−3/e groups of order p2e+2 that have equal multisets of isomorphism types of proper subgroups and proper quotient groups, isomorphic character tables, and power maps.

Visibly Tree Automata with Memory and Constraints [PDF]
Tree automata with one memory have been introduced in 2001. They generalize both pushdown (word) automata and the tree automata with constraints of equality between brothers of Bogaert and Tison.

Formalizing Randomized Matching Algorithms [PDF]
Using Je\v{r}\'abek 's framework for probabilistic reasoning, we formalize the correctness of two fundamental RNC^2 algorithms for bipartite perfect matching within the theory VPV for polytime reasoning.

Essential Convexity and Complexity of Semi-Algebraic Constraints [PDF]
Let \Gamma be a structure with a finite relational signature and a first-order definition in (R;*,+) with parameters from R, that is, a relational structure over the real numbers where all relations are semi-algebraic sets.
