### Is there a regular tree language in which the average height of a tree of size $n$ is neither $\Theta(n)$ nor $\Theta(\sqrt{n})$?

We define a regular tree language as in the book TATA: It is the set of trees accepted by a non-deterministic finite tree automaton (Chapter 1) or, equivalently, the set of trees generated by a ...

### Is Logical Min-Cut NP-Complete?

Logical Min Cut (LMC) problem definition Suppose that $G = (V, E)$ is an unweighted digraph, $s$ and $t$ are two vertices of $V$, and $t$ is reachable from $s$. The LMC Problem studies how we can ...

### Finding an st-path in a planar graph which is adjacent to the fewest number of faces

I am curious whether the following problems has been studied before, but wasn't able to find any papers about it: Given a planar graph G, and two vertices s and t, find an st-path $P$ which minimizes ...

### Is it NP-hard to fill up bins with minimum moves?

There are $n$ bins and $m$ type of balls. The $i$th bin has labels $a_{i,j}$ for $1\leq j\leq m$, it is the expected number of balls of type $j$. You start with $b_j$ balls of type $j$. Each ball of ...
