We study the maximization version of the fundamental graph coloring problem. Here the goal is to color the vertices of a k-colorable graph with k colors so that a maximum fraction ...
We address the problem of bounding below the probability of error under maximum-likelihood decoding of a binary code with a known distance distribution used on a binarysymmetric ch...
A survey of results for the problems of selection, mergingand sorting in the Randomized Parallel Comparison Tree RPCT model is given. The results indicate that while randomization ...
Traditional research on spelling correction in natural language processing and information retrieval literature mostly relies on pre-defined lexicons to detect spelling errors. Bu...
Problem solvers, both human and machine, have at their disposal many heuristics that may support effective search. The efficacy of these heuristics, however, varies with the probl...
