An exact parameterization for the boundary of the Minkowski product of N circular disks in the complex plane is derived. When N > 2, this boundary curve may be regarded as a gen...
A strong direct product theorem (SDPT) states that solving n instances of a problem requires ˝.n/ times the resources for a single instance, even to achieve success probability 2 ...
Software Product Lines aim at capturing the variability and commonality of a family of related programs that share a common set of assets. Variation points capture variability on ...
—The behavior of complex production automation systems is hard to predict, therefore simulation is used to study the likely system behavior. However, in a real-world system many ...
Embedding a partially ordered set into a product of chains is a classical way to encode it. Such encodings have been used in various fields such as object oriented programming or ...
