On Lower Bounds for Parity Branching Programs
Diese Arbeit beschaeftigt sich mit der Komplexität von parity Branching Programmen. Es werden superpolynomiale untere Schranken für verschiedene Varianten bewiesen, nämlich für well-structured graph-driven parity branching programs, general graph-driven parity branching programs und Summen von graph-driven parity branching programs

Leaf languages and string compression
AbstractTight connections between leaf languages and strings compressed by straight-line programs (SLPs) are established. It is shown that the compressed membership problem for a language L is complete for the leaf language class defined by L via logspace machines. A more difficult variant of the compressed membership problem for L is shown to be complete for the leaf language class defined by L via polynomial time machines. As a corollary, it is shown that there exists a fixed linear visibly pushdown language for which the compressed membership problem is PSPACE-complete. For XML languages, it is shown that the compressed membership problem is coNP-complete.Furthermore it is shown that the embedding problem for SLP-compressed strings is hard for PP (probabilistic polynomial time)
Dagstuhl News January - December 2001
"Dagstuhl News" is a publication edited especially for the members of the Foundation "Informatikzentrum Schloss Dagstuhl" to thank them for their support. The News give a summary of the scientific work being done in Dagstuhl. Each Dagstuhl Seminar is presented by a small abstract describing the contents and scientific highlights of the seminar as well as the perspectives or challenges of the research topic
