Abstract-- We analyze the performance of low-density generator matrix (LDGM) codes for lossy source coding. We first develop a generic technique for deriving lower bounds on the ef...

In this paper we consider the following maximum budgeted allocation (MBA) problem: Given a set of m indivisible items and n agents; each agent i willing to pay bij on item j and w...
ABSTRACT. In this paper we give a lower bound for the least distortion embedding of a distance regular graph into Euclidean space. We use the lower bound for finding the least dist...
Breakpoint phylogenies methods have been shown to be an effective way to extract phylogenetic information from gene order data. Currently, the only practical breakpoint phylogeny a...
We prove that the concept class of disjunctions cannot be pointwise approximated by linear combinations of any small set of arbitrary real-valued functions. That is, suppose there ...
