Abstract— Wavelength converters simplify the wavelength assignment problem in virtual topology design in optical networks and increase the utilization of the fiber bandwidth. Ho...
Depth-first proof-number search (df-pn) is powerful AND/OR tree search to solve positions in games. However, df-pn has a notorious problem of infinite loops when applied to domain...
In the recent years, CSP's have come to be seen as the core problem in many applications. We propose here a hybrid algorithm (MC-FC) that combines two different search method...
The class Max (r, 2)-CSP (or simply Max 2-CSP) consists of constraint satisfaction problems with at most two r-valued variables per clause. For instances with n variables and m bin...
: Ahlswede and Winter [IEEE Trans. Inf. Th. 2002] introduced a Chernoff bound for matrix-valued random variables, which is a non-trivial generalization of the usual Chernoff bound ...
