A pants decomposition of an orientable surface is a collection of simple cycles that partition into pants, i.e., surfaces of genus zero with three boundary cycles. Given a set P...
Newton’s method is a basic tool in numerical analysis and numerous applications, including operations research and data mining. We survey the history of the method, its main ide...
Let S ⊆ Zn satisfy the property that conv(S) ∩ Zn = S. Then a convex set K is called an S-free convex set if int(K) ∩ S = ∅. A maximal S-free convex set is an S-free convex...
This paper is concerned with a programming language construct for typed name binding that enforces -equivalence. It proves a new result about what operations on names can co-exist...
Multimedia and network processing applications make extensive use of subword data. Since registers are capable of holding a full data word, when a subword variable is assigned a r...
