Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....
Recently, a number of works have been done on how to use Genetic Algorithms to solve the Portfolio Optimization problem, which is an instance of the Resource Allocation problem cl...
Intelligent agents must update their knowledge base as they acquire new information about their environment. The modal logic S5n has been designed for representing knowledge bases...
We study a new data mining problem concerning the discovery of frequent agreement subtrees (FASTs) from a set of phylogenetic trees. A phylogenetic tree, or phylogeny, is an unorde...
Abstract. A set of phylogenetic trees with overlapping leaf sets is consistent if it can be merged without conflicts into a supertree. In this paper, we study the polynomial-time a...
