The performance of the fingerprint identification and verification systems relies heavily on the quality of the input fingerprint images. In this paper, we propose an effective im...
Abstract. We consider minimum equivalent digraph problem, its maximum optimization variant and some non-trivial extensions of these two types of problems motivated by biological an...
In this paper, we study the two-dimensional geometrical bin packing problem (2DBP): given a list of rectangles, provide a packing of all these into the smallest possible number of ...
Edit distance has been extensively studied for the past several years. Nevertheless, no linear-time algorithm is known to compute the edit distance between two strings, or even to...

We present a new bit-parallel technique for approximate string matching. We build on two previous techniques. The first one, BPM [Myers, J. of the ACM, 1999], searches for a patte...
