We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
We consider the DIRECTED STEINER NETWORK problem, also called the POINT-TO-POINT CONNECTION problem, where given a directed graph G and p pairs {(s1,t1),...,(sp,tp)} of nodes in t...
This paper is concerned with on-line problems where a mobile robot of size D has to achieve a task in an unknown planar environment whose geometry is acquired by the robot during ...
— In this paper a method for the fast determination of distortion-based optimal unequal error protection (UEP) of bitstreams generated by embedded image coders is described. The ...
The matching of planar shapes can be cast as a problem of finding the shortest path through a graph spanned by the two shapes, where the nodes of the graph encode the local simil...
