Steiner tree is a fundamental problem in the automatic interconnect optimization for VLSI design. We present a probabilistic analysis method for constructing rectilinear Steiner t...
Sets of probability measures which form neighbourhoods of classical probability measures are studied. An application of Jeffrey’s rule of conditioning to forming neighbourhoods...
A constrained Monte Carlo problem arises when one computes an expectation in the presence of a priori computable constraints on the expectations of quantities that are correlated ...
Hardness results for maximum agreement problems have close connections to hardness results for proper learning in computational learning theory. In this paper we prove two hardnes...

We propose an effective heuristic to save memory in dynamic programming on tree decompositions when solving graph optimization problems. The introduced "anchor technique"...
