The problem of disjoint sets, also known as union-find, consists in maintaining a partition of a finite set within a data structure. This structure provides two operations: a fu...
A minimal k-cycle is a family of sets A0, . . . , Ak−1 for which Ai ∩ Aj = ∅ if and only if i = j or i and j are consecutive modulo k. Let fr(n, k) be the maximum size of a ...
We consider the following problem. Let n 2, b 1 and q 2 be integers. Let R and B be two disjoint sets of n red points and bn blue points in the plane, respectively, such that no...
This paper is motivated by the open question whether the union of two disjoint NPcomplete sets always is NP-complete. We discover that such unions retain much of the complexity of...
— Extracting useful correlation from a dataset has been extensively studied. In this paper, we deal with the opposite, namely, a problem we call correlation hiding (CH), which is...
