A new priority queue structure, the queap, is introduced. The queap executes insertion in O(1) amortized time and extract-min in O(log(k+2)) amortized time if there are k items th...
Abstract. In engineering and other ‘real-world’ applications, multiobjective optimization problems must frequently be tackled on a tight evaluation budget — tens or hundreds ...
We consider the dictionary problem in external memory and improve the update time of the wellknown buffer tree by roughly a logarithmic factor. For any λ ≥ max{lg lg n, logM/B(...
During chemical reactions, molecules interact to produce new molecules. Some of the reaction mechanisms are very close to the way gene combine to produce new genes. Like the class...
We propose a more robust robot programming by demonstration system planner that produces a reproduction path which satisfies statistical constraints derived from demonstration traj...
