Abstract. A circular-arc model (C, A) is a circle C together with a collection A of arcs of C. If A satisfies the Helly Property then (C, A) is a Helly circular-arc model. A (Helly...
We examine how to induce selfish heterogeneous users in a multicommodity network to reach an equilibrium that minimizes the social cost. In the absence of centralized coordination...
In a recent article, Nakhleh, Ringe and Warnow introduced perfect phylogenetic networks--a model of language evolution where languages do not evolve via clean speciation--and form...
We present an efficient reduction mapping undirected graphs G with n = 2k vertices for integers k to tables of partially specified Boolean functions g : {0, 1}4k+1 {0, 1, } so tha...
We define a language to be overlap-free if any two distinct strings in the language do not overlap with each other. We observe that overlap-free languages are a proper subfamily of...
Reversible finite automata with halting states (RFA) were first considered by Ambainis and Freivalds to facilitate the research of KondacsWatrous quantum finite automata. In this ...
We present a simple O(m+n6 / 12 ) time (1+ )-approximation algorithm for the problem of cutting a convex n-gon out of a convex m-gon with line cuts of minimum total cutting length....
We consider the problem of placing a set of disks in a region containing obstacles such that no two disks intersect. We are given a bounding polygon P and a set R of possibly inte...
