We investigate issues regarding two hard problems related to voting, the optimal weighted lobbying problem and the winner problem for Dodgson elections. Regarding the former, Chris...
We present a linguistically-motivated algorithm for reconstructing nonlocal dependency in broad-coverage context-free parse trees derived from treebanks. We use an algorithm based...
Process network problems can be formulated as Generalized Disjunctive Programs where a logicbased representation is used to deal with the discrete and continuous decisions. A new ...
Abstract. In this paper, we consider the problem of computing a minimum bending energy path (or MinBEP) in a simple corridor. Given a simple 2D corridor C bounded by straight line ...
We show that, assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, it is NPhard to approximate MAX 2-SAT within LLZ + , where 0.9401 < LLZ < 0.9402 is the believed approximation ratio of t...
