Constraint programming uses enumeration and search tree pruning to solve combinatorial optimization problems. In order to speed up this solution process, we investigate the use of...
In this paper we consider the k-fixed-endpoint path cover problem on proper interval graphs, which is a generalization of the path cover problem. Given a graph G and a set T of k v...
Bidimensionality theory was introduced by Demaine et al. [JACM 2005 ] as a framework to obtain algorithmic results for hard problems on minor closed graph classes. The theory has ...
We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
The problem of maintaining efficiently a large number (say millions) of statistics counters that need to be updated at very high speeds (e.g. 40 Gb/s) has received considerable re...
