We consider Metropolis Glauber dynamics for sampling proper qcolourings of the n-vertex complete b-ary tree when 3 q b/2 ln(b). We give both upper and lower bounds on the mixing...
Mixed Multi-Unit Combinatorial Auctions extend and generalize all the preceding types of combinatorial auctions. In this paper, we try to make headway on the practical application...
Scheduling of processes in mixed batch/continuous plants, due to their hybrid nature can become very complex. This paper presents the Timed Hybrid Petri net (THPN) as a suitable t...
A mix network by Wikstrom fails in correctness, provable privacy and soundness. Its claimed advantages in security and efficiency are compromised. The analysis in this paper illus...
The paper presents a generalization of Arnold-Falk-Winther elements for linear elasticity, to meshes with elements of variable order. The generalization is straightforward but the ...
