Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
We construct an efficient probabilistic algorithm that, given a finite set with a binary operation, tests if it is an abelian group. The distance used is an analogue of the edit d...
We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...
- The set-covering problem is an interesting problem in computational complexity theory. In [1], the setcovering problem has been proved to be NP hard and a greedy heuristic algori...
In this paper, we present the first output-sensitive algorithm to compute the persistence diagram of a filtered simplicial complex. For any Γ > 0, it returns only those homo...
