Ordering a set of items so as to minimize the sum of distances between consecutive elements is a fundamental optimization problem occurring in many settings. While it is NP-hard i...
The potential benefits of applying reactive distillation (RD) processes are taxed by significant complexities in process development and design. The design problem is formulated i...

Partitioning a video sequence into shots is the first step toward video-content analysis and content-based video browsing and retrieval. A video shot is defined as a series of inte...
We study here the spectra of random lifts of graphs. Let G be a finite connected graph, and let the infinite tree T be its universal cover space. If λ1 and ρ are the spectral ...
The field of information retrieval still strives to develop models which allow semantic information to be integrated in the ranking process to improve performance in comparison to...
