The implication of multivalued dependencies (MVDs) in relational databases has originally been defined in the context of some fixed finite universe (Fagin 1977, Zaniolo 1976). Whi...
This paper generalizes adaptive subdivision algorithms by introducing an applicationdependent Degree of Interest function. Therefore, geometry-related as well as geometry-independ...
We introduce a dynamic logic that is enriched by non-rigid functions, i.e., functions that may change their value from state to state (during program execution), and we present a (...
A probabilistic learning model for vague queries and missing or imprecise information in databases is described. Instead of retrieving only a set of answers, our approach yields a...
The element of luck permeates every aspect of the game of poker. Random stochastic outcomes introduce a large amount of noise that can make it very difficult to distinguish a good...
