The smallest grammar problem - namely, finding a smallest context-free grammar that generates exactly one sequence - is of practical and theoretical importance in fields such as ...
We resolve in the a rmative a question of Boppana and Bui: whether simulated annealing can, with high probability and in polynomial time, nd the optimal bisection of a random grap...
We study the problem of rewriting queries using views in the presence of access patterns, integrity constraints, disjunction, and negation. We provide asymptotically optimal algori...
In this paper we present a genetic algorithm-based heuristic for solving the set partitioning problem (SPP). The SPP is an important combinatorial optimisation problem used by man...
Finding sparse approximate solutions to large underdetermined linear systems of equations is a common problem in signal/image processing and statistics. Basis pursuit, the least a...
