Uknown to us, an axially-symmetric surface is broken into disjoint pieces along a set of break-curves, i.e., the curves along which the surface locally breaks into two pieces. A s...
QR decomposition is a computationally intensive linear algebra operation that factors a matrix A into the product of a unitary matrix Q and upper triangular matrix R. Adaptive sys...
Cutting plane methods are widely used for solving convex optimization problems and are of fundamental importance, e.g., to provide tight bounds for Mixed-Integer Programs (MIPs). T...
A commonly used type of search tree is the alphabetic binary tree, which uses (without loss of generality) "less than" versus "greater than or equal to" tests ...
Many large-scale networks such as ad hoc and sensor networks, peer-to-peer networks, or the Internet have the property that the number of independent nodes does not grow arbitrari...
