We consider the problem of maximizing a nonnegative (possibly non-monotone) submodular set function with or without constraints. Feige et al. [9] showed a 2/5-approximation for th...
Clustering is an important mechanism in large multi-hop wireless sensor networks for obtaining scalability, reducing energy consumption and achieving better network performance. Mo...
: We discuss a new approach to constructing the rectilinear Steiner tree (RST) of a given set of points in the plane, starting from a minimum spanning tree (MST). The main idea in ...
We propose and study a technique to improve the performance of those local-search SAT solvers that proceed by executing a prespecified number of tries, each starting with an eleme...
Objects can exhibit different dynamics at different scales, and this is often exploited by visual tracking algorithms. A local dynamic model is typically used to extract image fea...
