RFID tags are being used in many diverse applications in increasingly large numbers. These capabilities of these tags span from very dumb passive tags to smart active tags, with t...
We address the problem of computing a good floating-point-coefficient polynomial approximation to a function, with respect to the supremum norm. This is a key step in most process...
Computing multidimensional aggregates in high dimensions is a performance bottleneck for many OLAP applications. Obtaining the exact answer to an aggregation query can be prohibit...
Abstract— Sum rate maximization by power control is an important, challenging, and extensively studied problem in wireless networks. It is a nonconvex optimization problem and ac...
We establish several approximate max-integral-flow / minmulticut theorems. While in general this ratio can be very large, we prove strong approximation ratios in the case where th...
