Abstract. This paper investigates the relationship between the dimension theory of partial orders and the problem of scheduling precedenceconstrained jobs on a single machine to mi...
Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....
In earlier work we have introduced and explored a variety of different probabilistic models for the problem of answering selectivity queries posed to large sparse binary data set...
The skeletal structures of solid objects play an important role in medical and industrial applications. Given a volumetrically sampled solid object, our method extracts a nice-loo...
Vector algorithms allow the computation of an output vector r = r1r2 :::rm given an input vector e = e1e2 :::em in a bounded number of operations, independent of m the length of t...
