Second Order Approximations for Probability Models
In this paper, we derive a second order mean field theory for directed graphical probability models. By using an information theoretic argument it is shown how this can be done in...

Rational approximation to the Fermi-Dirac function with applications in density functional theory
We are interested in computing the Fermi-Dirac matrix function in which the matrix argument is the Hamiltonian matrix arising from Density Function Theory (DFT) applications. More...

Design Choices for High-Confidence Distributed Real-Time Software
Safety-critical distributed real-time systems, such as networked medical devices, must operate according to their specification, because incorrect behaviour can have fatal conseque...

FPRAS for computing a lower bound for weighted matching polynomial of graphs
We give a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme to compute a lower bound for the matching polynomial of any weighted graph at a positive argument. For the matching poly...
