Ambiguity and Communication

Authors: Juraj Hromkovic and Georg Schnitger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 3, 26th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (2009)

Abstract
The ambiguity of a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) $N$ for input size $n$ is the maximal number of accepting computations of $N$ for an input of size $n$. For all $k,r \in \mathbb{N}$ we construct languages $L_{r,k}$ which can be recognized by NFA's with size $k \cdot$poly$(r)$ and ambiguity $O(n^k)$, but $L_{r,k}$ has only NFA's with exponential size, if ambiguity $o(n^k)$ is required. In particular, a hierarchy for polynomial ambiguity is obtained, solving a long standing open problem (Ravikumar and Ibarra, 1989, Leung, 1998).

08381 Abstracts Collection – Computational Complexity of Discrete Problems

Authors: Peter Bro Miltersen, Rüdiger Reischuk, Georg Schnitger, and Dieter van Melkebeek

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8381, Computational Complexity of Discrete Problems (2008)

Abstract
From the 14th of September to the 19th of September, the Dagstuhl Seminar 08381 ``Computational Complexity of Discrete Problems'' was held in Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz Center for Informatics. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work as well as open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this report. The first section describes the seminar topics and goals in general. Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided, if available.

08381 Executive Summary – Computational Complexity of Discrete Problems

Authors: Peter Bro Miltersen, Rüdiger Reischuk, Georg Schnitger, and Dieter van Melkebeek

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8381, Computational Complexity of Discrete Problems (2008)

Abstract
Estimating the computational complexity of discrete problems constitutes one of the central and classical topics in the theory of computation. Mathematicians and computer scientists have long tried to classify natural families of Boolean relations according to fundamental complexity measures like time and space, both in the uniform and in the nonuniform setting. Several models of computation have been developed in order to capture the various capabilities of digital computing devices, including parallelism, randomness, and quantum interference.
