We propose a novel measure of the representativeness (i.e., indicativeness or topic specificity) of a term in a given corpus. The measure embodies the idea that the distribution o...
One class of Davenport-Schinzel sequences consists of finite sequences over n symbols without immediate repetitions and without any subsequence of the type abab. We present a bij...
Abstract. Consider, for a permutation Sk, the number F(n, ) of permutations in Sn which avoid as a subpattern. The conjecture of Stanley and Wilf is that for every there is a c...
This paper presents a new lower bound of 2:414d= p d on the maximal number of Nash equilibria in d d bimatrix games, a central concept in game theory. The proof uses an equivalent ...
BIC criterion is widely used by the neural-network community for model selection tasks, although its convergence properties are not always theoretically established. In this paper...
