We present a local algorithm (constant-time distributed algorithm) for finding a 3-approximate vertex cover in bounded-degree graphs. The algorithm is deterministic, and no auxili...
The Quantum Probability Ranking Principle (QPRP) has been recently proposed, and accounts for interdependent document relevance when ranking. However, to be instantiated, the QPRP...
In this paper, the concept of a granulation order is proposed in an information system. The positive approximation of a set under a granulation order is defined. Some properties o...
