In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...

We investigate the effects of precision on the efficiency of various local search algorithms on 1-D unimodal functions. We present a (1 + 1)-EA with adaptive step size which fin...

This paper considers the problem of packet-mode scheduling of input queuedswitches. Packets have variable lengths, and are divided into cells of unit length. Each packet arrives t...
