Abstract: Although a quantum state requires exponentially many classical bits to describe, the laws of quantum mechanics impose severe restrictions on how that state can be accesse...
This paper considers the problem of an agent searching for a resource or a tangible good in a physical environment, where at each stage of its search it observes one source where ...

Abstract-- The calculation of network reliability in a probabilistic context has long been an issue of practical and academic importance. Conventional approaches (determination of ...
We introduce exponential search trees as a novel technique for converting static polynomial space search structures for ordered sets into fully-dynamic linear space data structure...
