Let α and β be a partition of {1, . . . , n} into two blocks. A merging network is a network of comparators which allows as input arbitrary real numbers and has the property tha...
Golumbic et al. [Discrete Applied Mathematics 154(2006) 1465-1477] defined the readability of a monotone Boolean function f to be the minimum integer k such that there exists an ...
—A matrix A of size m n containing items from a totally ordered universe is termed monotone if, for every i, j, 1 i < j m, the minimum value in row j lies below or to...
Constraint-based mining techniques on sequence databases have been studied extensively the last few years and efficient algorithms enable to compute complete collections of patte...
We show that restricting a number of characterizations of the complexity class P to be positive (in natural ways) results in the same class of (monotone) problems which we denote ...
