Supporting top-k queries over distributed collections of schemaless XML data poses two challenges. While XML supports expressive query languages such as XPath and XQuery, these la...
Geometric constraints are imperative components of many dynamic simulation systems to effectively control the behavior of simulated objects. In this paper we present an improved fi...
A class of trust-region algorithms is developed and analyzed for the solution of minimization problems with nonlinear inequality constraints. Based on composite-step trust region ...
This paper introduces a new algorithm for solving a subclass of quantified constraint satisfaction problems (QCSP) where existential quantifiers precede universally quantified ine...

The capacity of 1-D constraints is given by the entropy of a corresponding stationary maxentropic Markov chain. Namely, the entropy is maximized over a set of probability distribut...
