Abstract. State elimination is an intuitive and easy-to-implement algorithm that computes a regular expression from a finite-state automaton (FA). The size of a regular expression...
In the p-Set Splitting problem we are given a universe U, a family F of subsets of U and a positive integer k and the objective is to find a partition of U into W and B such that...
We provide polynomial time data reduction rules for Connected Dominating Set in planar graphs and analyze these to obtain a linear kernel for the planar Connected Dominating Set pr...
We give near-optimal sketching and streaming algorithms for estimating Shannon entropy in the most general streaming model, with arbitrary insertions and deletions. This improves ...

This paper presents a novel graph cut based segmentation approach with shape priors. The model incorporates statistical shape prior information with the active contour without edg...
