An iterated function f(x) is a function that when composed with itself, produces a given expression f(f(x))=g(x). Iterated functions are essential constructs in fractal theory and...
—Cloud resources are usually priced in multiple markets with different service guarantees. For example, Amazon EC2 prices virtual instances under three pricing schemes — the su...
A lot of image analysis problems lend themselves to a unified mathematical formulation as optimization problems. Tree-serial dynamic programming is a particular case of the so-cal...
We describe the architecture of an evolving algebra partial evaluator, a program which specializes an evolving algebra with respect to a portion of its input. We discuss the parti...
We show how a technique from signal processing known as zero-delay convolution can be used to develop more efficient dynamic programming algorithms for a broad class of stochastic...
