Selecting a small set of nodes called pivots, from all the nodes in a network and maintaining the routing infrastructure to and among each other can reduce routing overhead and ex...
MAX SAT and MAX NAE-SAT are central problems in theoretical computer science. We present an approximation algorithm for MAX NAE-SAT with a conjectured performance guarantee of 0.82...
Spline curves are useful in a variety of geometric modeling and graphics applications and covering problems abound in practical settings. This work defines a class of covering dec...
Hierarchical taxonomies are used to organize and retrieve information in many domains, especially those dealing with large and rapidly growing amounts of information. In many of t...
We consider a memory allocation problem. This problem can be modeled as a version of bin packing where items may be split, but each bin may contain at most two (parts of) items. T...
