### Consistent Sampling a Random Walk

Assume there's a random walk $S_k = X_1 + \dots + X_k$ where $X_i \in \{1, -1\}$ are uniformly iid. I want Alice and Bob to share a function $S(k) = S_k$. A straightforward approach would be to let ...

### Circuit computing Longest Increasing Sub-sequence (LIS)

Taking inspiration from sorting networks, I was wondering if another prominent algorithm can be implemented in the same fashion: finding the longest increasing sub-sequence (LIS), Input is given as ...

### Theoretical Computer Science vs other Sciences?

So I‘m in my third semester studying Computer Science at a German university, so I‘ve only scratched the surface of Theoretical Computer Science, namely Logic, Formal Languages, Automata Theory, ...

### Cycle packing with degree condition

Given a directed graph where each vertex has the same in-degree as out-degree, I would like to find the maximum number of edge-disjoint cycles. Is this NP-hard? Without the degree condition, the ...

### Equivalent Characterizations of Semilinear Sets

Coming from an automata theory background, the semilinear sets seem like an ideal candidate for having lots of equivalent characterizations. I am already familiar with a few well known ones: Sets ...

### Tape reduction, tape compression and time compression

In our lecture we have the following relationships: I have problems to understand these abstract classes. First of all, our Turingmachines are defined as $1$ input tape and $k$ working tapes. DSPACE(...

### Turing Machines and Logic

It is well known that Monadic Second Order Logic (over words) and finite automata can express the same set of languages. Is there a logic over words (perhaps a nth order logic) such that it and turing ...
