In this article, a hybrid optimization method has been proposed consisting of modified ant colony systems (ACSs) and constrained nonlinear programming (NLP) to solve the problems ...
We continue the study of amplification of average-case complexity within NP, and we focus on the uniform case. We prove that if every problem in NP admits an efficient uniform alg...
The cut-norm ||A||C of a real matrix A = (aij)iR,jS is the maximum, over all I R, J S of the quantity | iI,jJ aij|. This concept plays a major role in the design of efficient app...
In this paper, we consider the issue of constructing an energy-efficient virtual network backbone in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for broadcasting applications using directiona...
Discovering patterns with great significance is an important problem in data mining discipline. A serial episode is defined to be a partially ordered set of events for consecutive ...
