We present an efficient algorithm that checks the consistency of partial descriptions of ordered trees. The constraint language of these descriptions was introduced by Cornell in c...
In this paper, we give an efficient algorithm to determine whether a locally stable predicate has become true in an underlying computation. Examples of locally stable predicates in...
A path from a point s to a point t on the surface of a polyhedral terrain is said to be descent if for every pair of points p = (x(p), y(p), z(p)) and q = (x(q), y(q), z(q)) on th...
Abstract. In this paper we present a more efficient algorithm for comparison of minisatellites which has complexity O(n 3 + m 3 + mn 2 + nm 2 + mn) where n and m are the lengths of...
Most machine learning algorithms are designed either for supervised or for unsupervised learning, notably classification and clustering. Practical problems in bioinformatics and i...
Recently, the issue of functional dependencies in XML (XFDs) have been investigated. In this paper we consider the problem of checking the satisfaction of an XFD in an XML document...
In this paper we produce a practical and efficient algorithm to find a decomposition of type n = k i=1 2si 3ti , si, ti ∈ N ∪ {0} with k ≤ c + o(1) ¡ log n log log n ....
