We consider multi-class blocking systems in which jobs require a single processing step. There are groups of servers that can each serve a different subset of all job classes. The...
We prove that the edges of every graph of bounded (Euler) genus can be partitioned into any prescribed number k of pieces such that contracting any piece results in a graph of bou...

Current techniques used in pipelining recursive filters require significant hardware complexity. These techniques attempt to preserve the exact frequency response of the origina...

At the core of the seminal Graph Minor Theory of Robertson and Seymour is a powerful structural theorem capturing the structure of graphs excluding a fixed minor. This result is ...

In this paper, we introduce a method for approximating the solution to inference and optimization tasks in uncertain and deterministic reasoning. Such tasks are in general intract...
