The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...
Query optimizers normally compile queries into one optimal plan by assuming complete knowledge of all cost parameters such asselectivity and resourceavailability. The execution of...
Background: Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a useful tool in bioinformatics. Although many MSA algorithms have been developed, there is still room for improvement in accuracy...
We consider a quadratic programming (QP) problem (Π) of the form min xT Cx subject to Ax ≥ b where C ∈ Rn×n + , rank(C) = 1 and A ∈ Rm×n , b ∈ Rm . We present an FPTAS ...
We present a two-step method for identifying SISO Hammerstein systems. First, using a persistent input with retrospective cost optimization, we estimate a parametric model of the l...
