We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
Given that most elementary problems in database design are NP-hard, the currently used database design algorithms produce suboptimal results. For example, the current 3NF decompos...
With continued reductions in feature size, additional functionality may be added to future microprocessors to boost the performance of important application domains. Due to growth...
We study a family of problems, called Maximum Solution (Max Sol), where the objective is to maximise a linear goal function over the feasible integer assignments to a set of variab...
We study the problem of maintaining recursively-de ned views, such as the transitive closure of a relation, in traditional relational languages that do not have recursion mechanis...
