A Direct Sum Theorem holds in a model of computation, when for every problem solving some k input instances together is k times as expensive as solving one. We show that Direct Su...
We propose a definition for the entropy of capacities defined on lattices. Classical capacities are monotone set functions and can be seen as a generalization of probability mea...
We propose an extended relational database model which can model both uncertainty and imprecision in data. This model is basedon Dempster-Shafertheory which has become popular in ...
Abstract. Grain [11] is a lightweight stream cipher submitted by M. Hell, T. Johansson, and W. Meier to the eSTREAM call for stream cipher proposals of the European project ECRYPT ...
Compilation is an important approach to a range of inference problems, since it enables linear-time inference in the size S of the compiled representation. However, the main drawb...
