The Range-Minimum-Query-Problem is to preprocess an array such that the position of the minimum element between two specified indices can be obtained efficiently. We present a dire...
This paper addresses the problem of representing the connectivity information of geometric objects using as little memory as possible. As opposed to raw compression issues, the fo...
Web applications typically interact with a back-end database to retrieve persistent data and then present the data to the user as dynamically generated output, such as HTML web pa...
Polygonal objects are characterized by the following well-known parameters: number of vertices, area, perimeter and so on. These parameters describe the data sets that are used in...
