In this paper we present some space/time efficient Turing machine algorithms for recognizing some subclasses of DCFLs. In particular, we show that the finite minimal stacking and “simple” strict restricted (a subclass of strict restricted) deterministic pushdown automata (FMS-DPDAs, SSR-DPDAs, respectively) can be simulated by offline Turing machines simultaneously in space S(n) and time n2/S(n) for any tape function S(n) satisfying log n ⩽ S(n) ⩽ n which is constructable in n2/S(n) time. Generalizations are then made for the corresponding classes of 2-way DPDAs.

It is shown that every one-dimensional cellular space with von Neumann neighborhood (each cell connected to its two immediate neighbors) can be simulated in real-time by a cellular space with a symmetrical local transition function with the same neighborhood, and starting with the same configuration. Symmetrical means that the individual cells cannot distinguish between left and right.

Erich Kaltofen
In this paper we prove by entirely elementary means a very effective version of the Hilbert irreducibility theorem. We then apply our theorem to construct a probabilistic irreducibility test for sparse multivariate polynomials over arbitrary perfect fields. For the usual coefficient fields the test runs in polynomial time in the input size.

We introduce the notion of powerposets which is a natural generalization of that of powersets with inclusion as their partial ordering. We show that every powerposet is an algebraic semilattice and that every continuous poset can be directed—continuously embeddable into some powerposet. We also discuss the possibility of making powerposets into λ-models as in the case of Plotkin-Scott's Pω theory.

Little is known about the expressive completeness of connectives in temporal logic systems with a nonlinear time model. We introduce separation—a general tool for proving completeness in nonlinear time models. We then use the separation theorem to show expressive completeness of a finite set of connectives in various branching time models.

In this paper we investigate the computational complexity of the inequivalence problems for commutative grammars. We show that the inequivalence problems for type 0 and context-sensitive commutative grammars are undecidable whereas decidability in nondeterministic exponential-time holds for the classes of regular and context-free commutative grammars. For the latter the inequivalence problems are Σp2-hard.

We construct an N-node graph G which has (i) a layout with area O(N) and maximum edge length O(N1/2), (ii) a layout with area O(N5/4) and maximum edge length O(N1/4). We prove for 1 ≤ f(N) ≤ (O(N1/8) that any layout for G with area Nf(N) has an edge of length Ω(N1/2/f(N)·log N). Hence G has no layout which is optimal with respect to both measures.

We use Scott's idea of information systems to provide a complete partial order semantics for concurrency involving Milner's synchronization tree model. Several connections are investigated between different models; our principal technique in establishing these connections is the use of compact metric space methods.
