A pseudo-Boolean function is a real-valued function defined on {0, 1}n . A k-bounded function is a pseudo-Boolean function that can be expressed as a sum of subfunctions each of w...
We give a simple framework which is an alternative to the celebrated and widely used shifting strategy of Hochbaum and Maass [J. ACM, 1985] which has yielded efficient algorithms ...
Global illumination effects such as inter-reflections and subsurface scattering result in systematic, and often significant errors in scene recovery using active illumination. R...
A fundamental problem in distributed computation is the distributed evaluation of functions. The goal is to determine the value of a function over a set of distributed inputs, in ...
The security of the RSA public key cryptosystem depends on the intractability of the integer factoring problem. This paper shall give some theoretical support to the assumption of ...
