A monotone planar circuit (MPC) is a Boolean circuit that can be
 embedded in a plane, and that has only AND and OR
 gates. Yang showed that the one-input-face
 monotone planar circuit value problem (MPCVP) is in NC^2, and
 Limaye et. al. improved the bound to ...

We study the complexity of restricted versions of st-connectivity, which is the standard complete problem for NL. Grid graphs are a useful tool in this regard, since
* reachability on grid graphs is logspace-equivalent to reachability in general planar digraphs, and
* reachability on certain classes of grid graphs gives ...
