Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to detect unso...
We prove that any one-pass streaming algorithm which ( , )-approximates the kth frequency moment Fk, for any real k = 1 and any = 1 m , must use 1 2 bits of space, where m is th...
With the rapid growth in wireless networks and sensor and mobile devices, we are moving towards an era of pervasive computing. Access control is challenging in these environments. ...
Earth mover's distance (EMD for short) is a perceptually meaningful dissimilarity measure between histograms. The computation of EMD reduces to a network flow optimization pro...
Abstract. Let the graph G = (V, E) be a cycle with n + 1 vertices, nonnegative vertex weights and positive edge lengths. The inverse 1-median problem on a cycle consists in changin...
