Fast-converging methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees require that the sequences characterizing the taxa be of only polynomial length, a major asset in practice, since rea...

We study the properties of the Minimum Description Length principle for sequence prediction, considering a two-part MDL estimator which is chosen from a countable class of models....
Abstract— This paper studies the effect of communicationlink weighting schemes and long-range connections in speeding convergence to consensus on the average of the inputs to age...
This paper considers simultaneous gate and wire sizing for general very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits under the Elmore delay model. We present a fast and exact algorithm w...
Mean shift is an iterative mode-seeking algorithm widely used in pattern recognition and computer vision. However, its convergence is sometimes too slow to be practical. In this pa...
