We address the problem of minimizing the propagation of undesirable things, such as computer viruses or malicious rumors, by blocking a limited number of links in a network, a dua...
This paper presents a wavelet-based algorithm for height from gradients. The tensor product of the third-order Daubechies’ scaling functions is used to span the solution space. ...
The minimization problem for Horn formulas is to find a Horn formula equivalent to a given Horn formula, using a minimum number of clauses. A 2log1−ǫ (n) -inapproximability re...
In a buyer-supplier game, a special type of assignment game, a distinguished player, called the buyer, wishes to purchase some combinatorial structure. A set of players, called sup...
The minimization problem for visibly pushdown automata (VPA) is studied. Two subclasses of VPA are introduced: call driven automata, and block automata. For the first class, minim...
Iterative optimization algorithms such as the forward-backward and Douglas-Rachford algorithms have recently gained much popularity since they provide efficient solutions to a wi...
Algorithms for discrete energy minimization play a fundamental role for low-level vision. Known techniques include graph cuts, belief propagation (BP) and recently introduced tree-...
