Abstract. In this paper, we empirically investigate the NP-hard problem of finding sparsest solutions to linear equation systems, i.e., solutions with as few nonzeros as possible. ...
While many works have been devoted to service matchmaking and modeling nonfunctional properties, the problem of matching service requests to offers in an optimal way has not yet b...
Many computer vision problems involving feature correspondence among images can be formulated as an assignment problem with a quadratic cost function. Such problems are computatio...
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...
Petri nets are an effective formalism to model discrete event systems, and several variants have been defined to explicitly include real time in the model. We consider two fundam...
