We present a probabilistic analysis for a large class of combinatorial optimization problems containing, e.g., all binary optimization problems defined by linear constraints and a...
This paper presents computer simulations which investigate the effect that different group sizes have on the emergence of compositional structures in languages. The simulations are...
Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...
We present a novel, generic framework and algorithm for hierarchical collision detection, which allows an application to balance speed and quality of the collision detection. We p...
We present a new approach for an average-case analysis of algorithms and data structures that supports a non-uniform distribution of the inputs and is based on the maximum likelih...
