This paper discusses how interval analysis can be used to solve a wide variety of problems in computer graphics. These problems include ray tracing, interference detection, polygo...
In the cyclic-to-random shuffle, we are given n cards arranged in a circle. At step k, we exchange the k'th card along the circle with a uniformly chosen random card. The pro...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

We study the multi-constrained Quality-of-Service (QoS) routing problem where one seeks to find a path from a source to a destination in the presence of K 2 additive end-to-end Qo...
We show that thepermanent cannot be computed by uniform constantdepth threshold circuits of size Tn, for any function T such that for all k, Tk n = o2n. More generally, we show th...
