In this paper, we investigate the test set problem and its variations that appear in a variety of applications. In general, we are given a universe of objects to be “distinguish...
of nature, or abstract idea (collectively, a principle). The clue to the patent-eligibility of processes that do not involve substance-transformation is whether the process impleme...
Quadratic Programming (QP) is the well-studied problem of maximizing over {−1, 1} values the quadratic form i=j aijxixj. QP captures many known combinatorial optimization proble...
Switching cells in parallel is a common approach to build switches with very high external line rate and a large number of ports. A prime example is the parallel packet switch (in...
We study a variant of classical scheduling, which is called scheduling with “end of sequence” information. It is known in advance that the last job has the longest processing ...
