Estimating the number of distinct elements in a large multiset has several applications, and hence has attracted active research in the past two decades. Several sampling and sket...
We settle the 1-pass space complexity of (1 ? )approximating the Lp norm, for real p with 1 p 2, of a length-n vector updated in a length-m stream with updates to its coordinate...
The group Steiner problem is a classical network design problem where we are given a graph and a collection of groups of vertices, and want to build a min-cost subgraph that conne...
We present an efficient pixel-sampling technique for histogram-based search. Given a template image as a query, a typical histogram-based algorithm aims to find the location of ...
This paper proposes a novel recombination scheme for evolutionary algorithms, which can guide the new population generation towards the maximum increase of the objective function....
