We prove an upper bound, tight up to a factor of 2, for the number of vertices of level at most in an arrangement of n halfspaces in Rd , for arbitrary n and d (in particular, the...
We conjecture that any planar 3-connected graph can be embedded in the plane in such a way that for any nodes s and t, there is a path from s to t such that the Euclidean distance ...
Inverted index structures are the mainstay of modern text retrieval systems. They can be constructed quickly using off-line mergebased methods, and provide efficient support for ...
We present an algorithm to generate samples from probability distributions on the space of curves. Traditional curve evolution methods use gradient descent to find a local minimum...

Abstract-- We present a new, biologically-inspired algorithm for the problem of covering a given region with wireless "units" (sensors or base-stations). The general prob...
