Tractable covers are introduced as a new ap proach to equivalence-preserving compilation of propositional knowledge bases. First, a gen eral framework is presented. Then, two ...
We consider the problem of rewriting a query efficiently using materialized views. In the context of information integration, this problem has received significant attention in th...
Important generalizations of the Vertex Cover problem (Connected Vertex Cover, Capacitated Vertex Cover, and Maximum Partial Vertex Cover) have been intensively studied in terms of...
Abstract. For solving combinatorial optimisation problems, exact methods accurately exploit the structure of the problem but are tractable only up to a certain size; approximation ...
Arpe and Manthey [Algorithmica’09] recently studied the minimum ANDcircuit problem, which is a circuit minimization problem, and showed some results including approximation algo...
