It is known that the "pattern containment" order on permutations is not a partial well-order. Nevertheless, many naturally defined subsets of permutations are partially ...
In this paper, we investigate partial words, or finite sequences that may have some undefined positions called holes, of maximum subword complexity. The subword complexity functi...
Partial order methods have been introduced to avoid the state explosion problem in veri cation resulting from the representation of multiple interleavings of concurrent transitions...
We discuss properties of high order neurons in competitive learning. In such neurons, geometric shapes replace the role of classic `point' neurons in neural networks. Complex ...
This paper considers the problem of transforming a resource feasible, fixed-times schedule into a partial order schedule (POS) to enhance its robustness and stability properties. ...
