Leader election and arbitrary pattern formation are fundammental tasks for a set of autonomous mobile robots. The former consists in distinguishing a unique robot, called the lead...
We study the problem of approximately answering aggregation queries using sampling. We observe that uniform sampling performs poorly when the distribution of the aggregated attrib...
Recently, conditional logics have been developed for application to problems in default reasoning. We present a uniform framework for the development and investigation of conditio...
We study upper and lower bounds on the kernel size for the 3-hitting set problem on hypergraphs of degree at most 3, denoted 33-hs. We first show that, unless P=NP, 3-3-hs on 3-un...
We present a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner tree problem with polygonal obstacles in the plane with running time O(n log2 n), where n denotes the numb...
