Abstract. We extend first-order order-sorted unification by permitting regular expression sorts for variables and in the domains of function symbols. The set of basic sorts is ...
: Mereotopology faces problems when its methods are extended to deal with time and change. We offer a new solution to these problems, based on a theory of partitions of reality wh...
Abstract--We establish that the min-sum messagepassing algorithm and its asynchronous variants converge for a large class of unconstrained convex optimization problems, generalizin...
The online squarefree recognition problem is to detect the first occurrence of a square in a string whose characters are provided as input one at a time. We present an efficient a...
We consider the problem of globally minimizing the sum of many rational functions over a given compact semialgebraic set. The number of terms can be large (10 to 100), the degree ...
