Cartesian contour: a concise representation for a collection of frequent sets
In this paper, we consider a novel scheme referred to as Cartesian contour to concisely represent the collection of frequent itemsets. Different from the existing works, this sche...

Robust and Efficient Covering of Unknown Continuous Domains with Simple, Ant-Like A(ge)nts
We propose a new `Mark-Ant-Walk' algorithm for robust and efficient covering of continuous domains by ant-like robots with very limited capabilities. The robots can mark plac...

The importance of being biased
The Minimum Vertex Cover problem is the problem of, given a graph, finding a smallest set of vertices that touches all edges. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate this proble...
