We solve the problem of minimizing the number of critical points among all functions on a surface within a prescribed distance from a given input function. The result is achieved...
Spectral clustering refers to a flexible class of clustering procedures that can produce high-quality clusterings on small data sets but which has limited applicability to large-s...
Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the quantity of image data collected, due to advances in fields such as medical imaging, reconnaissance, surveillance, astronomy...
Materialized views (MV) can significantly improve the query performance of relational databases. In this paper, we consider MVs to optimize complex scenarios where many heterogen...
