We consider string matching with variable length gaps. Given a string T and a pattern P consisting of strings separated by variable length gaps (arbitrary strings of length in a sp...
Given a set of rectangular pieces and a container of fixed width and variable length, the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) consists of orthogonally placing all the p...
The paper studies the problem of maintaining external dynamic dictionaries with variable length keys. We introduce a new type of balanced trees, called S(b)-trees, which generaliz...
A general variable length genome, called exG, is developed here to address the problems of fixed length representations in canonical evolutionary algorithms. Convergence aspects o...
The problem of evolving, using mutation, an artificial ant to follow the Santa Fe trail is used to study the well known genetic programming feature of growth in solution length. Kn...
– Crossbar-based switches are commonly used to implement routers with throughputs up to about 1 Tb/s. The advent of crossbar scheduling algorithms that provide strong performance...
We introduce two new index structures based on the q-gram index. The new structures index substrings of variable length instead of q-grams of fixed length. For both of the new ind...
