Abstract. According to the No Free Lunch (NFL) theorems all blackbox algorithms perform equally well when compared over the entire set of optimization problems. An important proble...
The main task in decision tree construction algorithms is to find the "best partition" of the set of objects. In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal binary ...
The analysis of random coding error exponents pertaining to erasure/list decoding, due to Forney, is revisited. Instead of using Jensen’s inequality as well as some other inequa...
Bidimensionality theory was introduced by Demaine et al. [JACM 2005 ] as a framework to obtain algorithmic results for hard problems on minor closed graph classes. The theory has ...
A large number of database index structures have been proposed over the last two decades, and little consensus has emerged regarding their relative e ectiveness. In order to empir...
