Optimal Predicate Pushdown Synthesis

cs.PL · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Communication Advantages from Quantum Dense Network Coding

quant-ph · 2026-07-09 · accept · novelty 7.5

cs.AI · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Bandit algorithms can be adapted to Tree MDPs by treating policies as arms with shared-data confidence bounds, achieving polynomial memory and instance-dependent bounds on sample complexity and regret that depend on terminal-state gaps rather than all policies.

Biclique Reconfiguration in Bipartite Graphs

cs.DS · 2026-03-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Balanced Biclique Reconfiguration on bipartite graphs is PSPACE-complete, implying PSPACE-completeness for spanning subgraph reconfiguration of (i,j)-bicliques and for two-component connected-components reconfiguration under all token rules.

Sheaves as oracle computations

math.LO · 2026-02-25 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Oracle modalities are the least forcing a predicate, every modality is an oracle modality via adjoint retraction to containers, and sheaves are algebras for the monad of quotient-inductive computation trees.

Analysis of Search Heuristics in the Multi-Armed Bandit Setting

cs.NE · 2026-04-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In the dueling bandit setting, the (1+1) EA selects the Condorcet winner with only constant probability when its advantage is Ω(1/n), while a Max-Min Ant System EDA selects it with probability 1-Θ(p), and repeated duels improve the EA's performance.

The complexity of smooth words over binary alphabets

cs.FL · 2026-03-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

f-smooth words equal factors of smooth words, and their complexity is Θ(n^{log(a+b)/log((a+b)/2)}) on even binary alphabets, with the lower bound for all binary alphabets.

Complexity of Firefighting on Graphs

cs.CC · 2025-05-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Deciding ffn(G) <= m is NP-hard, shortest strategies on complete binary trees have superpolynomial length, with almost sharp bounds for those trees and transfer of results to the Hunter and Rabbit game.

On the enumeration of Tarski fixed points

cs.DM · 2023-08-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Derives query lower bounds matching lattice width for Tarski fixed point enumeration of isotone maps and gives poly-space algorithms for increasing/decreasing cases on lattices including binary relations.
