This paper studies an extension of the k-median problem where we are given a metric space (V, d) and not just one but m client sets {Si V }m i=1, and the goal is to open k facili...

A pants decomposition of an orientable surface is a collection of simple cycles that partition into pants, i.e., surfaces of genus zero with three boundary cycles. Given a set P...
In this paper, we show that the LVQ learning algorithm converges to locally asymptotic stable equilibria of an ordinary differential equation. We show that the learning algorithm ...
Low priority data transfer across the wide area is useful in several contexts, for example for the dissemination of large files such as OS updates, content distribution or prefet...
A simulation-based optimization framework involving simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) is presented as a means for optimally specifying parameters of intern...
