Consider a graph problem which is associated with a parameter, for example, that of finding a longest tour spanning k vertices. The following question is natural: Is there a smal...
Abstract. We consider the clustering with diversity problem: given a set of colored points in a metric space, partition them into clusters such that each cluster has at least point...
We present a lossless compression algorithm, GenCompress, for genetic sequences, based on searching for approximate repeats. Our algorithm achieves the best compression ratios for...
State-dependent importance sampling (SDIS) has proved to be particularly useful in simulation (specially in rare event analysis of stochastic systems). One approach for designing ...
In this paper, a novel and effective criterion based on the estimation of the signal-to-noise-ratio figure (SNRF) is proposed to optimize the number of hidden neurons in neural ne...
