We study the generation of uniformly distributed linear extensions using Markov chains. In particular we show that monotone coupling from the past can be applied in the case of lin...
We present an expected polynomial time algorithm to generate a 2-connected unlabeled planar graph uniformly at random. To do this we first derive recurrence formulas to count the ...
A large number of database index structures have been proposed over the last two decades, and little consensus has emerged regarding their relative e ectiveness. In order to empir...

Learning function relations or understanding structures of data lying in manifolds embedded in huge dimensional Euclidean spaces is an important topic in learning theory. In this ...
abstract Parsing schemata [4] provide a formal, simple and uniform way to describe, analyze and compare different parsing algorithms. The notion of a parsing schema comes from cons...
