We characterize all limit laws of the quicksort type random variables defined recursively by Xn d = XIn + X n-1-In + Tn when the "toll function" Tn varies and satisfies ...
Abstract. This is just a glimpse to the fruitful and constant preoccupation of computer science to try to get inspired by biology, at various levels. Besides briefly discussing th...
In this paper we design an iterative rounding approach for the classic prize-collecting Steiner forest problem and more generally the prize-collecting survivable Steiner network de...
— Both theory and a wealth of empirical studies have established that ensembles are more accurate than single predictive models. Unfortunately, the problem of how to maximize ens...
In the present study, an efficient strategy for retrieving texture images from large texture databases is introduced and studied within a distributional-statistical framework. Our...
