We give a simple framework which is an alternative to the celebrated and widely used shifting strategy of Hochbaum and Maass [J. ACM, 1985] which has yielded efficient algorithms ...
We develop exact and approximate algorithms for computing optimal separators and measuring the extent to which two point sets in d-dimensional space are separated, with respect to...
We consider optimization problems that can be formulated as minimizing the cost of a feasible solution wT x over an arbitrary combinatorial feasible set F {0, 1}n . For these pro...
We consider the music pattern matching problem—to find occurrences of a small fragment of music called the “pattern” in a larger body of music called the “score”—as a...
We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
