We give a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme to compute a lower bound for the matching polynomial of any weighted graph at a positive argument. For the matching poly...
The square-root information filter and smoother algorithms have been generalized to handle singular state transition matrices and perfect measurements. This has been done to allow...
We explore the average-case “Vickrey” cost of structures in a random setting: the Vickrey cost of a shortest path in a complete graph or digraph with random edge weights; the V...
Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
: In order to conceal their identity and origin, network based intruders seldom attack directly from their own hosts, but rather stage their attacks through intermediate `stepping ...
