It is known that the resources that limit the overall performance of the system are the congested ones, referred to as bottlenecks. From the knowledge of the bottleneck stations w...
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the use of messagepassing algorithms for the problem of finding the max-weight independent set (MWIS) in a graph. First, we study the perfor...
Barycentric coordinates can be used to express any point inside a triangle as a unique convex combination of the triangle's vertices, and they provide a convenient way to lin...
Let K be a polytope in Rn defined by m linear inequalities. We give a new Markov Chain algorithm to draw a nearly uniform sample from K. The underlying Markov Chain is the first t...
We investigate visibility computations with moving viewpoints. The initial problems are of discrete and algorithmic nature, but even for simple classes of objects (such as balls an...
