## Abstract We study the computational complexity of finding a line that bisects simultaneously two sets in the twoβdimensional plane, called __the pancake problem__, using the oracle Turing machine model of Ko. We also study the basic problem of bisecting a set at a given direction. Our main resul
In this note we give an easier proof of the known result that the car sequencing problem is NP-hard, and point out that it is NP-hard in the strong sense. We show that a previous claim of NP-completeness is incorrect, and instead we give a su cient condition of membership of NP. We also provide a ps
The importance of paying attention to the complexity of recursion in problem solving is stressed. Many ill-founded beliefs and doctrines on constructing recursive algorithms are challenged. The Tower of Hanoi problem and its variant are used as concrete examples for illustrating that many seemingly
We prove that the word problem in the mapping class group of the once-punctured surface of genus g has complexity O(|w| 2 g) for |w| log(g) where |w| is the length of the word in a (standard) set of generators. The corresponding bound in the case of the closed surface is O(|w| 2 g 2 ). We also carry
