A parameterized problem is called fixed parameter tractable
if it admits a solving algorithm whose running time on
input instance $(I,k)$ is $f(k) \cdot |I|^\alpha$, where $f$
is an arbitrary function depending only on~$k$. Typically,
$f$ is some exponential function, e.g., $f(k)=c^k$ for ... more >>>

We give the first extension of the result due to Paul, Pippenger,
Szemeredi and Trotter that deterministic linear time is distinct from
nondeterministic linear time. We show that DTIME(n \sqrt(log^{*}(n)))
\neq NTIME(n \sqrt(log^{*}(n))). We show that atleast one of the
following statements holds: (1) P \neq L ... more >>>

We prove that any Resolution proof for the weak
pigeon hole principle, with $n$ holes and any number of
pigeons, is of length $\Omega(2^{n^{\epsilon}})$,
(for some global constant $\epsilon > 0$).
