—This paper introduces a new high-rate analysis of the multiple description scalar quantizer (MDSQ) with balanced descriptions. The analysis provides insight into the structure o...
Recently, Fabrikant, Koutsoupias and Papadimitriou [7] introduced a natural and beautifully simple model of network growth involving a trade-off between geometric and network obje...
— We study wavelength assignment for lightpaths over WDM rings to minimize the SONET ADMs used. This problem has attracted much attention recently. However, its computation compl...
We consider the concepts of a t-total vertex cover and a t-total edge cover (t 1), which generalize the notions of a vertex cover and an edge cover, respectively. A t-total verte...
We present new results on the problem of finding an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that will contain a given a set of rectangles. Many simple scheduling tasks can be modelled...
