We introduce a new mixed method for the biharmonic problem. The method is based on a formulation where the biharmonic problem is re-written as a system of four first-order equatio...
L1 regularization is effective for feature selection, but the resulting optimization is challenging due to the non-differentiability of the 1-norm. In this paper we compare state...
Modern database applications including computeraided design (CAD), medical imaging, or molecular biology impose new requirements on spatial query processing. Particular problems a...
We consider the problem of computing -approximate Nash equilibria in network congestion games. The general problem is known to be PLS-complete for every > 0, but the reductions...
Wireless sensor networks are proving to be useful in a variety of settings. A core challenge in these networks is to minimize energy consumption. Prior database research has propo...
