A facility has to be located within a given region taking two criteria of equity and efficiency into account. Equity is sought by minimizing the inequality in the inhabitant-facil...
Network distance, measured as round-trip latency between hosts, is important for the performance of many Internet applications. For example, nearest server selection and proximity...
— With the invention of high throughput methods, researchers are capable of producing large amounts of biological data. During the analysis of such data, the need for a functiona...
In applications such as vision and molecular biology, a common problem is to find the similar objects to a given target (according to some distance measure) in a large database. T...
A new distance measure between probability density functions (pdfs) is introduced, which we refer to as the Laplacian pdf distance. The Laplacian pdf distance exhibits a remarkabl...
