In this paper we suggest evaluating the importance of a website with the mean frequency of visiting the website for the Markov chain on the Internet Graph describing random surfi...
Abstract Polynomial-time data reduction is a classical approach to hard graph problems. Typically, particular small subgraphs are replaced by smaller gadgets. We generalize this ap...
Cars have to be painted in two colors in a sequence where each car occurs twice; assign the two colors to the two occurrences of each car so as to minimize the number of color chan...
We consider the problem of efficiently finding the top-k answers for join queries over web-accessible databases. Classical algorithms for finding top-k answers use branch-and-b...
Abstract. We give randomized agreement algorithms with constant expected running time in asynchronous systems subject to process failures, where up to a minority of processes may f...
