Given a set of nonintersecting polygonal obstacles in the plane, the link distance between two points s and t is the minimum number of edges required to form a polygonal path conn...
Architectures for optical processors designed to solve bounded instances of NP-Complete problems are suggested. One approach mimics the traveling salesman by traveling beams that ...
- Minimum area is one of the important objectives in technology mapping for lookup table-based FPGAs. It has been proven that the problem is NP-complete. This paper presents a poly...
The linear systems associated with large, sparse, symmetric, positive definite matrices are often solved iteratively using the preconditioned conjugate gradient method. We have d...
The problem of coloring a set of n intervals (from the real line) with a set of k colors is studied. In such a coloring, two intersecting intervals must receive distinct colors. O...
