We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
We consider the problem of deciding whether a polygonal knot in 3dimensional Euclidean space is unknotted, capable of being continuously deformed without self-intersection so that...
The closest substring problem, where a short string is sought that minimizes the number of mismatches between it and each of a given set of strings, is a minimization problem with ...
Abstract. One of the emerging concepts in microdata protection is kanonymity, introduced by Samarati and Sweeney. k-anonymity provides a simple and efficient approach to protect pr...
The notion of warrant or justification is one of the central concepts in formal models of argumentation. The dialectical definition of warrant is expressed in terms of recursive...
