We present an NC approximation algorithm for the weighted matching problem in graphs with an approximation ratio of (1 - ). This improves the previously best approximation ratio of...
STGs give a formalism for the description of asynchronous circuits based on Petri nets. To overcome the state explosion problem one may encounter during circuit synthesis, a nondet...
The “small world” phenomenon, i.e., the fact that the global social network is strongly connected in the sense that every two persons are inter-related through a small chain o...
Coverage, fault tolerance and power consumption constraints make optimal placement of mobile sensors or other mobile agents a hard problem. We have developed a model for describin...
We transform the outputs of each hidden neuron in a multi-layer perceptron network to have zero output and zero slope on average, and use separate shortcut connections to model th...
