We present a new approach to representing coalitional games based on rules that describe the marginal contributions of the agents. This representation scheme captures characterist...
The disjoint paths problem asks, given an graph G and k + 1 pairs of terminals (s0, t0), . . . , (sk, tk), whether there are k + 1 pairwise disjoint paths P0, . . . , Pk, such tha...
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...
Contemporary XPath query engines evaluate queries in time exponential in the sizes of input queries, a fact that has gone unnoticed for a long time. Recently, the first main
—Call holding times in telephony networks are commonly approximated by exponential distributions to facilitate traffic engineering. However, for traffic engineering of cellular n...
