Let G be a d-regular graph with girth g, and let α be the independence number of G. We show that α(G) ≥ 1 2 1 − (d − 1)−2/(d−2) − (g) n where (g) → 0 as g → ∞,...
To operate successfully in indoor environments, mobile robots must be able to localize themselves. Most current localization algorithms lack flexibility, autonomy, and often optim...
— Isosurfaces are fundamental volumetric visualization tools, and are generated by the well-known Marching Cubes cases that approximate contours of trilinearly-interpolated scala...
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...
The M/G/K queueing system is one of the oldest model for multi-server systems, and has been the topic of performance papers for almost half a century. However, even now, only coar...
