In many real-world collective decision problems, the set of alternatives is a Cartesian product of finite value domains for each of a given set of variables. The prohibitive size...
This paper considers the composition of tuples from two relations in order to derive additional tuples of one of these relations. Our purpose is to determine when the composition i...
It is well known that the performance of a stochastic local search procedure depends upon the setting of its noise parameter, and that the optimal setting varies with the problem ...
Zero knowledge sets (ZKS) [18] allow a party to commit to a secret set S and then to, non interactively, produce proofs for statements such as x ∈ S or x /∈ S. As recognized in...
Abstract. Connected dominating set (CDS) has a wide range of applications in wireless ad hoc networks. A number of approximation algorithms for constructing a small CDS in wireless...
