We prove an optimal (n) lower bound on the randomized communication complexity of the much-studied GAP-HAMMING-DISTANCE problem. As a consequence, we obtain essentially optimal mu...
The imposition of general disjunctions of the form “πx ≤ π0 ∨ πx ≥ π0 + 1”, where π, π0 are integer valued, is a fundamental operation in both the branch-and-bound...
ngly better objective function value until an optimal solution is reached. From an abstract point of view, an augmentation problem is solved in each iteration. That is, given a fea...
Parameterized complexity has, so far, been largely con ned to consideration of computational problems as decision or search problems. However, it is becoming evident that the param...
A novel multilevel algorithm is presented for implementing the widely used linear sampling method in inverse obstacle scattering problems. The new method is shown to possess asympt...
