We study the mixing time of the Glauber dynamics for general spin systems on bounded-degree trees, including the Ising model, the hard-core model (independent sets) and the antife...
We propose a region-based method to extract semantic foreground regions from color video sequences with static backgrounds. First, we introduce a new distance measure for backgrou...
The oriented chromatic number of an oriented graph G is the minimum order of an oriented graph H such that G admits a homomorphism to H. The oriented chromatic number of an undire...
A sensor located inside a digital camera is only able to measure the light which is reflected by an object. The reflected light varies with the spectral power distribution of the ...
We study complexity and approximation of min weighted node coloring in planar, bipartite and split graphs. We show that this problem is NP-complete in planar graphs, even if they a...
