Epsilon-Unfolding Orthogonal Polyhedra
Abstract. An unfolding of a polyhedron is produced by cutting the surface and flattening to a single, connected, planar piece without overlap (except possibly at boundary points). ...

Rational stochastic languages
In probabilistic grammatical inference, a usual goal is to infer a good approximation of an unknown distribution P called a stochastic language. The estimate of P stands in some cl...

Inconsistent parameter estimation in Markov random fields: Benefits in the computation-limited setting
Consider the problem of joint parameter estimation and prediction in a Markov random field: i.e., the model parameters are estimated on the basis of an initial set of data, and th...

Feedback Capacity of Stationary Gaussian Channels
Abstract-- The feedback capacity of additive stationary Gaussian noise channels is characterized as the solution to a variational problem. Toward this end, it is proved that the op...

On the Block Error Probability of LP Decoding of LDPC Codes
Abstract-- In his thesis, Wiberg showed the existence of thresholds for families of regular low-density parity-check codes under min-sum algorithm decoding. He also derived analyti...

Universal Codes as a Basis for Time Series Testing
We suggest a new approach to hypothesis testing for ergodic and stationary processes. In contrast to standard methods, the suggested approach gives a possibility to make tests, ba...

Pants Decomposition of the Punctured Plane
A pants decomposition of an orientable surface is a collection of simple cycles that partition into pants, i.e., surfaces of genus zero with three boundary cycles. Given a set P...

The approximability of MAX CSP with fixed-value constraints
In the maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP), one is given a finite collection of (possibly weighted) constraints on overlapping sets of variables, and the goal is to ...

Faster Algorithms for Constructing a Concept (Galois) Lattice
In this paper, we present a fast algorithm for constructing a concept (Galois) lattice of a binary relation, including computing all concepts and their lattice order. We also prese...
