We present a search space analysis and its application in improving local search algorithms for the graph coloring problem. Using a classical distance measure between colorings, w...

Abstract. The paper presents an algorithm for scheduling parallel programs for execution in a parallel architecture based on dynamic SMP processor clusters with data transfers on t...
It is well-known that the time and memory necessary to create a codebook from large training databases have hindered the vector quantization based systems for real applications. T...

Abstract. We propose a novel approach to clustering, based on deterministic analysis of random walks on the weighted graph associated with the clustering problem. The method is cen...
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...
