A family of subsets C of [n] def = {1, . . . , n} is (r, t)exclusive if for every S ⊂ [n] of size at least n − r, there exist S1, . . . , St ∈ C with S = S1∪S2∪· · · ...
XPORT (eXtensible Profile-driven Overlay Routing Trees) is a generic data dissemination system that supports an extensible set of data types and profiles, and an optimization fr...
Point estimates of the parameters in real world models convey valuable information about the actual system. However, parameter comparisons and/or statistical inference requires de...
Abstract. We consider bicriteria optimization problems and investigate the relationship between two standard approaches to solving them: (i) computing the Pareto curve and (ii) the...
We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a "semiduality" between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree...
