چکیده

For an integer s let ZS(n), the s-iterated logarithm function, be defined inductively: [O(n) = n, [8+1(n) = log2(l8(n)) for s 2:: o. We show that for every fixed s and all n large enough, there is an n-vertex 3-pushdown graph whose smallest separator contains at least n(n/[8(n)) vertices.

On Separators, Segregators and Time versus Space

We give the first extension of the result due to Paul, Pippenger, Szemeredi and Trotter [24] that deterministic linear time is distinct from nondeterministic linear time. We show that NTIME(n √ log∗(n)) 6= DTIME(n √ log∗(n)). We show that if the class of multi-pushdown graphs has (o(n), o(n/log(n))) segregators, then NTIME(nlog(n)) 6= DTIME(nlog(n)). We also show that atleast one of the followi...

FO Model Checking on Nested Pushdown Trees

Nested Pushdown Trees are unfoldings of pushdown graphs with an additional jump-relation. These graphs are closely related to collapsible pushdown graphs. They enjoy decidable μ-calculus model checking while monadic second-order logic is undecidable on this class. We show that nested pushdown trees are tree-automatic structures, whence first-ordermodel checking is decidable. Furthermore, we pro...

Efficient Analysis of Graphs with Small Minimal Separators

We consider the class C of graphs whose minimal separators have a fixed bounded size. We give an O(nm)-time algorithm computing an optimal tree-decomposition of every graph in C with n vertices and m edges. Furthermore we make evident that many NP-complete problems are solvable in polynomial time when restricted to this class. Both claims hold although C contains graphs of arbitrarily large tre...

First-Order Model Checking on Generalisations of Pushdown Graphs

We study the first-order model checking problem on two generalisations of pushdown graphs. The first class is the class of nested pushdown trees. The other is the class of collapsible pushdown graphs. Our main results are the following. First-order logic with reachability is uniformly decidable on nested pushdown trees. Considering first-order logic without reachability, we prove decidability i...

First-Order Logic on CPDA Graphs

We contribute to the question about decidability of firstorder logic on configuration graphs of collapsible pushdown automata. Our first result is decidability of existential FO sentences on configuration graphs (and their ε-closures) of collapsible pushdown automata of order 3, restricted to reachable configurations. Our second result is undecidability of whole first-order logic on configurati...
