We combine multiple description (MD) quantization, entropy coding, and data partitioning to improve the error resiliency of images over varying packet loss channels. Our proposed ...
This paper describes a low-memory cache efficient Hybrid Block Coder (HBC) for images in which an image subband decomposition is partitioned into a combination of spatial blocks a...
We apply Monte Carlo simulation and alpha-beta search to the card game of Skat, which is similar to Bridge, but different enough to require some new algorithmic ideas besides the t...
Noncrossing set partitions, nonnesting set partitions, Dyck paths, and rooted plane trees are four classes of Catalan objects which carry a notion of type. There exists a product f...
Abstract. We describe some new, simple and apparently general methods for designing FPT algorithms, and illustrate how these can be used to obtain a signi cantly improved FPT algor...
