Updating almost complete trees or one level makes all the difference -- Sorting the sums (xi+yj) in O(n2) comparisons -- Efficient checking of computations -- Hard promise problems and nonuniform complexity -- On the construction of abstract voronoi diagrams -- Approximation of convex figures by pairs of rectangles -- Nonblocking graphs: Greedy algorithms to compute disjoint paths -- Infinite trees and automaton definable relations over ?-words -- Enumerative Combinatorics and Computer Science -- Failures semantics based on interval semiwords is a congruence for refinement -- The analysis of local search problems and their heuristics.

Sommario/riassunto

The Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science is organized jointly by the Special Interest Group for Applied Mathematics of AFCET (Association Française de Cybernétique Economique et Technique) and the Special Interest Group for Theoretical Computer Sciences of GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik). It is held alternately in France and in Germany. This volume contains two invited papers, on combinatorial methods in computer science, and on the complexity of local optimization, and 24 contributions on theoretical aspects of computer science. Some software systems are presented showing the possibilities of applying theoretical research to the realization of software tools.
