We consider the concepts of a t-total vertex cover and a t-total edge cover (t 1), which generalize the notions of a vertex cover and an edge cover, respectively. A t-total verte...
All known algorithms for evaluating advanced XPath queries (e.g., ones with predicates or with closure axes) on XML streams employ buffers to temporarily store fragments of the do...
We show that any quantum algorithm to decide whether a function f : [n] → [n] is a permutation or far from a permutation must make Ω n1/3 /w queries to f, even if the algorith...
Abstract. We study some minimum-area hull problems that generalize the notion of convex hull to starshaped and monotone hulls. Specifically, we consider the minimum-area star-shap...

Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...
