We introduce a new notion of minors for simplicial complexes (hypergraphs), so-called homological minors. Our motivation is to propose a general approach to attack certain extrema...
The search of efficient constructions of ideal secret sharing schemes for families of nonthreshold access structures that may have useful applications has attracted a lot of atten...
Weighted automata are nondeterministic automata with numerical weights on transitions. They can define quantitative languages L that assign to each word w a real number L(w). In ...
