Abstract. Often, qualitative values have an ordering, such as (veryshort, short, medium-height, tall) or a hierarchical level, such as (TheWorld, Europe, Spain, Madrid), which are ...
We investigate the problem of finding two nonempty disjoint subsets of a set of n positive integers, with the objective that the sums of the numbers in the two subsets be as close ...
Embedded systems are electronic devices that function in the context of a physical environment, by sensing and reacting to a set of stimuli. To simplify the design of embedded syst...

Although computers are widely used to simulate complex physical systems, crafting the underlying models that enable computer analysis remains difficult. When a model is created fo...
We give a randomized O(n polylog n)-time approximation scheme for the Steiner forest problem in the Euclidean plane. For every fixed ǫ > 0 and given n terminals in the plane ...
