Let r be a fixed positive integer. It is shown that, given any partial orders >1, . . ., >r on the same n-element set P, there exist disjoint subsets A, B P, each with at l...
We address the sensor selection problem which arises in tracking and localization applications. In sensor selection, the goal is to select a small number of sensors whose measureme...
