We consider the problem of sorting a permutation using a network of data structures as introduced by Knuth and Tarjan. In general the model as considered previously was restricted...
A digraph D is strong if it contains a directed path from x to y for every choice of vertices x, y in D. We consider the problem (MSSS) of finding the minimum number of arcs in a ...
We consider {0, 1}n as a sample space with a probability measure on it, thus making pseudo-Boolean functions into random variables. We then derive explicit formulas for approximat...

Usually, binary search only makes sense in sorted arrays. We show that insertion sort based on repeated "binary searches" in an initially unsorted array also sorts n ele...
Many research papers in pairing based cryptography treat pairings as a "black box". These papers build cryptographic schemes making use of various properties of pairings....

We study a variant of the pickup-and-delivery problem (PDP) in which the objects that have to be transported can be reloaded at most d times, for a given d N. This problem is kno...
We discuss different variants of linear arrangement problems from a parameterized perspective. More specifically, we concentrate on developing simple search tree algorithms for th...
For a graph G, it is known to be a hard problem to compute the competition number k(G) of the graph G in general. In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the competition nu...
