Query containment is a fundamental problem of databases. Given two queries q1 and q2, it asks whether the set of answers to q1 is included in the set of answers to q2 for any datab...
In this paper, we will describe some heuristics that can be used to improve the runtime of a wide range of commonly used algorithms for the negative cycle detection problem signiï¬...
We study the generalization of covering problems to partial covering. Here we wish to cover only a desired number of elements, rather than covering all elements as in standard cov...
Any tree can be represented in a max/ma//y compact form as a directed acyclic graph where common subtrees are factored and shared, being represented only once. Such a compaction ca...

In the design of communication networks, robustness against failures in single links or nodes is an important issue. This paper proposes a new approach for the NP-complete edge-bic...
