We give an O(n lg n)-time algorithm for counting the number of inversions in a permutation on n elements. This improves a long-standing previous bound of O(n lg n/ lg lg n) that ...
— In this paper, we study the anonymous cardinality estimation problem in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. To preserve privacy and anonymity, each tag only transmi...
Abstract. Polytope Faces Pursuit (PFP) is a greedy algorithm that approximates the sparse solutions recovered by 1 regularised least-squares (Lasso) [4,10] in a similar vein to (Or...
Peer to peer (P2P) systems are moving from application specific architectures to a generic service oriented design philosophy. This raises interesting problems in connection with...
Representative-based clustering algorithms are quite popular due to their relative high speed and because of their sound theoretical foundation. On the other hand, the clusters the...
