We define the k-path tree matroid, and use it to solve network design problems in which the required connectivity is arbitrary for a given pair of nodes, and 1 for the other pairs...
Abstract. Crawling the deep web often requires the selection of an appropriate set of queries so that they can cover most of the documents in the data source with low cost. This ca...
We build on the classical greedy sequential set cover algorithm, in the spirit of the primal-dual schema, to obtain simple parallel approximation algorithms for the set cover probl...
In this paper, we consider a novel scheme referred to as Cartesian contour to concisely represent the collection of frequent itemsets. Different from the existing works, this sche...
— In this paper, we focus on the construction of an efficient dominating set in ad hoc and sensor networks. A set of nodes is said to be dominating if each node is either itself...
