This paper describes a class ofprobabilistic approximation algorithms based on bucket elimination which o er adjustable levels of accuracy ande ciency. We analyzethe approximation...
We consider the file maintenance problem (also called the online labeling problem) in which n integer items from the set {1, . . . , r} are to be stored in an array of size m ≥...
Within the field of action recognition, features and descriptors are often engineered to be sparse and invariant to transformation. While sparsity makes the problem tractable, it ...
Coverage, fault tolerance and power consumption constraints make optimal placement of mobile sensors or other mobile agents a hard problem. We have developed a model for describin...
The problem of computing the minimum enclosing sphere (MES) of a point set is a classical problem in Computational Geometry. As an LP-type problem, its expected running time on th...
