We present a data structure, called a ray interpolant tree, or RI-tree, which stores a discrete set of directed lines in 3-space, each represented as a point in 4-space. Each dire...
Abstract. Search engines often employ techniques for determining syntactic similarity of Web pages. Such a tool allows them to avoid returning multiple copies of essentially the sa...
Abstract. We present a generic package for resource constrained network optimization problems. We illustrate the flexibility and the use of our package by solving four applications...
The purpose of this paper is to provide a preliminary report on the rst broad-based experimental comparison of modern heuristics for the asymmetric traveling salesmen problem ATSP....

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...
Speed-up techniques that exploit given node coordinates have proven useful for shortest-path computations in transportation networks and geographic information systems. To facilita...

In nearest neighbor searching we are given a set of n data points in real d-dimensional space, d , and the problem is to preprocess these points into a data structure, so that give...
We consider two approaches that model timetable information in public transportation systems as shortestpath problems in weighted graphs. In the time-expanded approach every event...

We prove that the variance of the number of different letters in random words of length n, with letters i and probabilities 2-i attached to them, is 1 + o(1). Likewise, the varian...
We study the asymptotic probability that a random composition of an integer n is gap-free, that is, that the sizes of parts in the composition form an interval. We show that this ...
