We show that the following problems are decidable in rank 2 free groups: does a given finitely generated subgroup H contain primitive elements? and does H meet the automorphic or...
Lagrangian relaxation is commonly used in combinatorial optimization to generate lower bounds for a minimization problem. We propose a modified Lagrangian relaxation which used i...
We study the number of ways to factor a natural number n into an ordered product of integers, each factor greater than one, denoted by H(n). This counting function from number the...
We give an improved algorithm for computing personalized PageRank vectors with tight error bounds which can be as small as (n-p ) for any fixed positive integer p. The improved Pag...
The timestamp problem captures a fundamental aspect of asynchronous distributed computing. It allows processes to label events throughout the system with timestamps that provide in...
