We reduce the approximation factor for Vertex Cover to 2 − Θ( 1√ log n ) (instead of the previous 2 − Θ(log log n log n ), obtained by Bar-Yehuda and Even [2], and by Moni...
Range searches in metric spaces can be very di cult if the space is \high dimensional", i.e. when the histogram of distances has a large mean and a small variance. The so-cal...
Generalizing the approach of a previous work [15] the authors present multilevel preconditioners for three-dimensional (3D) elliptic problems discretized by a family of Rannacher ...
Motivated by several applications, we introduce various distance measures between “top k lists.” Some of these distance measures are metrics, while others are not. For each of...
We investigate the complexity and approximability of some location problems when two distance values are specified for each pair of potential sites. These problems involve the se...
