We prove that perfect distributions exist when using a finite number of bits to represent the parameters of a Bayesian network. In addition, we provide an upper bound on the prob...
We present Grouped Distributed Queues (GDQ), the first proportional share scheduler for multiprocessor systems that scales well with a large number of processors and processes. G...
The firing rule of Petri nets relies on a residuation operation for the commutative monoid of natural numbers. We identify a class of residuated commutative monoids, called Petri ...
The subset sum problem (SSP) (given n numbers and a target bound B, find a subset of the numbers summing to B), is one of the classical NP-hard problems. The hardness of SSP vari...
The probability distribution on a set S = { 1, 2, . . . , n } defined by Pr(k) = 1/(Hnk), where Hn in the nth harmonic number, is commonly called a Zipfian distribution. In this no...
