Randomized search heuristics (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing etc.) are very appealing to practitioners, they are easy to implement and usually provide good per...
Newton’s method is a basic tool in numerical analysis and numerous applications, including operations research and data mining. We survey the history of the method, its main ide...
Two graphs G1 and G2 of order n pack if there exist injective mappings of their vertex sets into [n], such that the images of the edge sets do not intersect. Sauer and Spencer prov...
Rare events analysis is an area that includes methods for the detection and prediction of events, e.g. a network intrusion or an engine failure, that occur infrequently and have s...
In order to reduce key sizes and bandwidth, several LFSRbased (linear feedback shift register) public key cryptosystems and signature schemes have been proposed. Digital signature...
