We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...
We consider the problem of partitioning the set of vertices of a given unit disk graph (UDG) into a minimum number of cliques. The problem is NP-hard and various constant factor a...
In this paper, we derive an analytical model for the evaluation of the performance of a Video on Demand (VoD) system. The model estimates the mean waiting time achievable by the P...
This paper is concerned with X-ray volume visualization by means of wavelet splatting, a wavelet-based extension to splatting. Wavelet splatting allows multiresolution visualizati...
We consider a general weighted least squares approximation problem with a membrane spline regularization term. The key parameters in this formulation are the weighting factors whi...
