Interpolation over Light Fields with Applications in Computer Graphics
We present a data structure, called a ray interpolant tree, or RI-tree, which stores a discrete set of directed lines in 3-space, each represented as a point in 4-space. Each dire...

CNOP - A Package for Constrained Network Optimization
Abstract. We present a generic package for resource constrained network optimization problems. We illustrate the flexibility and the use of our package by solving four applications...

A Probabilistic Spell for the Curse of Dimensionality
Range searches in metric spaces can be very di cult if the space is \high dimensional", i.e. when the histogram of distances has a large mean and a small variance. The so-cal...

An Empirical Study of a New Approach to Nearest Neighbor Searching
In nearest neighbor searching we are given a set of n data points in real d-dimensional space, d , and the problem is to preprocess these points into a data structure, so that give...

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 ...
