We consider the following type of problems. Given a graph G = (V; E) and lists L(v) of allowed colors for its vertices v 2 V such that jL(v)j = p for all v 2 V and jL(u) \ L(v)j c for all uv 2 E, is it possible to nd a \list coloring", i.e., a color f (v) 2 L(v) for each v 2 V , so that f (u) 6 = f (v) for all uv 2 E ? We prove that every graph of maximum degree admits a list coloring for every...

The conference banquet provided a rare opportunity for Brian’s colleagues, collaborators, and students, as well as friends and family members to get together, and to share stories about Brian. The guests were delightfully entertained by the “Brian Alspach Quiz” prepared for the occasion by Brooks Reid, who served as the Master of Ceremonies. Brooks has graciously allowed us to include some of h...

In the thesis, the coloring of digraphs is studied. The chromatic number of a digraph D is the smallest integer k so that the vertices of D can be partitioned into at most k sets each of which induces an acyclic subdigraph. A set of four topics on the chromatic number is presented. First, the dependence of the chromatic number of digraphs on the maximum degree is explored. An analog of Gallai’s...

This paper investigates the prospects of AI without representation in general, and the proposals of Rodney Brooks in particular. What turns out to be characteristic of Brooks’ proposal is the rejection of central control in intelligent agents; his systems has as much or as little representation as traditional AI. The traditional view that representation is necessary for intelligence presupposes...

Abstract We prove that the cup product of ?-decomposable quasimorphisms, Brooks quasimorphisms or Rolli with any bounded cohomology class arbitrary positive degree is trivial.

Introduction Children conservatively produce syntactic patterns on a verb-by-verb basis (Akhtar and Tomasello, 1997; Baker, 1979; Bates and MacWhinney, 1987; Bowerman, 1982; Braine, 1976; Brooks and Tomasello, 1999; Gropen et al., 1989; Ingram and Thompson, 1996; Lieven et al., 1997; MacWhinney, 1982; Olguin and Tomasello, 1993; Schlesinger, 1982; Tomasello, 1992). Ultimately, however, generali...

In a recent editorial in the New York Times, David Brooks lamented the growing inability of states to address the world’s problems effectively: “The dispersion of power…means that more groups have effective veto power over collective action. In practice, this new pluralistic world has given rise to globosclerosis, an inability to solve problem after problem” (Brooks 2008). Pundits, policymakers...

A new species of digenean found in the intestines of the steely-vented hummingbird Amazilia saucerrottei and the yellow-olive flycatcher Tolmomyias sulphurescens from the Area de Conservacion Guanacaste, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, resembles members of the Prosthogonimidae in having a highly lobate ovary; an elongate cirrus sac containing the cirrus, pars prostatica, and internal seminal vesicle; n...
