Polylog space compression, pushdown compression, and Lempel-Ziv are incomparable (2009)

Mayordomo, Elvira, Moser, Philippe, Perifel, Sylvain

The pressing need for efficient compression schemes for XML documents has recently been focused on stack computation, and in particular calls for a formulation of information-lossless stack or...

Koiran, Pascal, Perifel, Sylvain

We show that the permanent cannot be computed by DLOGTIME-uniform threshold or arithmetic circuits of depth o(log log n) and polynomial size.
