We present a new approach to optimal rectangle packing, an NP-complete problem that can be used to model many simple scheduling tasks. Recent attempts at incorporating artificial ...
Randomized search heuristics (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing etc.) are very appealing to practitioners, they are easy to implement and usually provide good per...
We study the problem of finding an outlier-free subset of a set of points (or a probability distribution) in n-dimensional Euclidean space. As in [BFKV 99], a point x is defined t...
: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...
The energy scaling laws of multihop data fusion networks for distributed inference are considered. The fusion network consists of randomly located sensors independently distributed...
