The problem of choosing fast implementations for a class of recursive algorithms such as the fast Fourier transforms can be formulated as an optimization problem over the language...
We introduce a new set of probabilistic analysis tools based on the analysis of And-Or trees with random inputs. These tools provide a unifying, intuitive, and powerful framework ...

The (axis-parallel) stabbing number of a given set of line segments is the maximum number of segments that can be intersected by any one (axis-parallel) line. We investigate probl...
Given a sequence of n real numbers a1, a2, a3, . . . , an, the maximum segment sum problem is that of determining indices i and j (1 ≤ i ≤ j ≤ n) such that the sum s(i, j) =...
Many decision problems can be modelled as adversarial constraint satisfaction, which allows us to integrate methods from AI game playing. In particular, by using the idea of oppone...
