Experimental Comparison of Shortest Path Approaches for Timetable Information
We consider two approaches that model timetable information in public transportation systems as shortestpath problems in weighted graphs. In the time-expanded approach every event...

Compositions and Patricia Tries: No Fluctuations in the Variance!
We prove that the variance of the number of different letters in random words of length n, with letters i and probabilities 2-i attached to them, is 1 + o(1). Likewise, the varian...

Gap-Free Samples of Geometric Random Variables
We study the asymptotic probability that a random composition of an integer n is gap-free, that is, that the sizes of parts in the composition form an interval. We show that this ...

An Experimental Analysis of a Compact Graph Representation
In previous work we described a method for compactly representing graphs with small separators, which makes use of small separators, and presented preliminary experimental results...

Approximating the Visible Region of a Point on a Terrain
Given a terrain T and a point p on or above it, we wish to compute the region Rp that is visible from p. We present a generic radar-like algorithm for computing an approximation o...

Computation of a Class of COntinued Fraction Constants
There are numerous instances where mathematical constants do not admit a closed form. It is then of great interest to compute them, possibly in an efficient way. So the question i...
