Uniform metrical task systems with a limited number of states
We give a randomized algorithm (the ”Wedge Algorithm”) of competitiveness 3 2 Hk − 1 2k for any metrical task system on a uniform space of k points, for any k ≥ 2, where H...

Use of rational numbers in the design of robust geometric primitives for three-dimensional spatial database systems
A necessary step in the implementation of three-dimensional spatial data types for spatial database systems and GIS is the development of robust geometric primitives. The authors ...

Theory and applications for a double-base number system
In this paper we present a rigorous theoretical analysis of the main properties of a double base number system, using bases 2 and 3; in particular we emphasize the sparseness of t...
