A perfect hash function (PHF) is an injective function that maps keys from a set S to unique values, which are in turn used to index a hash table. Since no collisions occur, each k...

Identification of all objects in a dataset whose similarity is not less than a specified threshold is of major importance for management, search, and analysis of data. Set similari...
We study properties of rough sets, that is, approximations to sets of records in a database or, more formally, to subsets of the universe of an information system. A rough set is a...
The question of nonemptiness of the intersection of a nested sequence of closed sets is fundamental in a number of important optimization topics, including the existence of optima...
