: We address the question of how to communicate among distributed processes values such as real numbers, continuous functions and geometrical solids with arbitrary precision, yet e...
Abstract. We examine the use of randomness extraction and expansion in key agreement (KA) protocols to generate uniformly random keys in the standard model. Although existing works...
Abstract— A novel, simple and efficient method for the generation of Tikhonov (a.k.a. von Mises) random variates is proposed. In the proposed method, circular variates of a pres...
There has recently been significant interest in using repions based on abstractions of Blum's skeleton into a graph, for qualitative shape matching. The application of these ...
The medial surface of a volumetric object is of significant interest for shape analysis. However, its numerical computation can be subtle. Methods based on Voronoi techniques prese...
