This paper introduces the concept of a critical backbone as a minimal set of variables or part of the solution necessary to be within the basin of attraction of the global optimum...
To help unravel the structure of the universe, astronomers have developed systems which observe large clusters of objects at the same time. One such system is the 2-degree field s...
We revise the Volume Algorithm (VA) for linear programming and relate it to bundle methods. When first introduced, VA was presented as a subgradient-like method for solving the ori...

This paper proposes a partial prediction approach for fast mode decision in H.264/AVC 4x4 intra-prediction, exploiting the inherent symmetry existing in the spatial prediction mod...
A fundamental problem in distributed computing is performing a set despite failures and delays. Stated abstractly, the problem is to perform N tasks using P failure-prone processor...
