Product development requires the ability to check design consistency, to verify design properties, and to answer questions about a design's possible implementations. These tas...
We consider the question of lookahead in the list update problem: What improvement can be achieved in terms of competitiveness if an on-line algorithm sees not only the present re...
We study the limit as n 0 of the nonnegative, self-similar source-type solutions of the thin film equation ut + (unuxxx)x = 0. We obtain a unique limiting function u, which is a s...
We analyze a simple and natural on-line algorithm (dispatch policy) for a dynamic multiperiod uncapacitated routing problem, in which at the beginning of each time period a set of...

We initiate a new problem of automatic metro map layout. In general, a metro map consists of a set of lines which have intersections or overlaps. We define a set of aesthetic crit...
