We show that given an embedding of an O(log n) genus bipartite graph, one can construct an edge weight function in logarithmic space, with respect to which the minimum weight perfect matching in the graph is unique, if one exists.

As a consequence, we obtain that deciding whether the ... more >>>

A catalytic Turing machine is a model of computation that is created by equipping a Turing machine with an additional auxiliary tape which is initially filled with arbitrary content; the machine can read or write on auxiliary tape during the computation but when it halts auxiliary tape’s initial content must ... more >>>

The catalytic Turing machine is a model of computation defined by Buhrman, Cleve,
Kouck, Loff, and Speelman (STOC 2014). Compared to the classical space-bounded Turing
machine, this model has an extra space which is filled with arbitrary content in addition
to the clean space. In such a model we study ... more >>>
