This paper proposes a placement method for a mixed set of hard, soft, and pre-placed modules, based on a placement topology representation called sequence-pair. Under one sequence...
We show that for any convex object Q in the plane, the average distance between the Fermat-Weber center of Q and the points in Q is at least 4(Q)/25, and at most 2(Q)/(3 3), wher...
Let h : N → Q be a computable function. A real number x is h-monotonically computable (h-mc, for short) if there is a computable sequence (xs) of rational numbers which converges...
The problem of finding "small" sets that meet every straight-line which intersects a given convex region was initiated by Mazurkiewicz in 1916. We call such a set an opa...
A nearly logarithmic lower bound on the randomized competitive ratio for the metrical task systems problem is presented. This implies a similar lower bound for the extensively stu...
