We are given a sequence of items that can be packed into m unit size bins. In the classical bin packing problem we x the size of the bins and try to pack the items in the minimum ...
We discuss the compaction of independent test sequences for sequential circuits. Our first contribution is the formulation of this problem as an integer program, which we then so...
We characterize truthful mechanisms in two multi-parameter domains. The first characterization shows that every mechanism for combinatorial auctions with two subadditive bidders t...
We consider the following generalization of bin packing. Each item is associated with a size bounded by 1, as well as a rejection cost, that an algorithm must pay if it chooses not...
Piecewise linear networks (PLNs) are attractive because they can be trained quickly and provide good performance in many nonlinear approximation problems. Most existing design alg...
