We define general algebraic frameworks for shortest-distance problems based on the structure of semirings. We give a generic algorithm for finding single-source shortest distances...
We consider parameterized convex optimization problems over the unit simplex, that depend on one parameter. We provide a simple and efficient scheme for maintaining an -approximat...
Abstract. We present a new “lifting” approach for the solution of nonlinear optimization problems (NLPs) that have objective and constraint functions with intermediate variable...
Nested codes have been employed in a large number of communication applications as a specific case of superposition codes, for example to implement binning schemes in the presence ...
We address the problem of tight XML schemas and propose regular tree automata to model XML data. We show that the tree automata model is more powerful that the XML DTDs and is clo...
