We study the inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set on degree d graphs. We prove that: • Vertex Cover is Unique Games-hard to approximate to within a factor 2−(...
ABSTRACT: Let G(n, c/n) and Gr(n) be an n-node sparse random graph and a sparse random rregular graph, respectively, and let I(n, r) and I(n, c) be the sizes of the largest indepen...
A vector enhancement of Said and Pearlman's Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) methodology, named VSPIHT, has recently been proposed for embedded wavelet image co...
As application-specific instruction set processors (ASIPs) are being increasingly used in mobile embedded systems, the ubiquitous networking connections have exposed these systems...
Filling operations are procedures which are used in Discrete Tomography for the reconstruction of lattice sets having some convexity constraints. In [1], an algorithm which perform...
