In this paper we introduce a new method for bounding the solution to constraint optimization problems called semi-independent partitioning. We show that our method is a strict gene...
Abstract In this note we discuss the convergence of Newton's method for minimization. We present examples in which the Newton iterates satisfy the Wolfe conditions and the Hes...
Abstract. In this paper we study the external memory planar point enclosure problem: Given N axis-parallel rectangles in the plane, construct a data structure on disk (an index) su...
As part of an undergraduate engineering class project, a simulation of the Detroit Tigers offense was created to explore potential changes that would increase number of wins. More...

We study the problem of generating e cient, equivalent rewritings using views to compute the answer to a query. We take the closed-world assumption, in which views are materialize...
