— Scheduling in an ad hoc wireless network suffers from the non-convexity of the cost function, caused by the interference between communication links. In previous optimization t...
The computation of soft shadows created by area light sources is a well-known problem in computer graphics. Due to the complexity of the problem, soft shadows commonly are generat...
We consider the problem of finding a maximum number of disjoint paths for unit disks moving amidst static or dynamic obstacles. For the static case we give efficient exact algorit...
