Recently, the ITU-standardised specification language Message Sequence Chart has been extended with constructs for more complete and structured specifications. The new version of ...
Lucas chains are a special type of addition chains satisfying an extra condition: for the representation ak = aj + ai of each element ak in the chain, the difference aj - ai must a...
We present a new class of randomized approximation algorithms for unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems with the average weighted completion time objective. The key idea i...
Nonsmoothness pervades optimization, but the way it typically arises is highly structured. Nonsmooth behavior of an objective function is usually associated, locally, with an activ...
—In a standard transform coding scheme of images or video, the decoder can be implemented by a table-lookup technique without the explicit use of an inverse transformation. In th...
