We describe an automata-theoretic approach for the competitive analysis of online algorithms. Our approach is based on weighted automata, which assign to each input word a cost in...
We initiate an investigation of sublinear algorithms for geometric problems in two and three dimensions. We give optimal algorithms for intersection detection of convex polygons a...
We present a unified optimal semi-online algorithm for preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines with the objective to minimize the makespan. This algorithm works for a...
We propose a new two-dimensional meshing algorithm called PINW able to generate meshes that accurately approximate the distance between any two domain points by paths composed onl...

In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of the error with three basic Monte Carlo radiosity algorithms, based on continuous collision shooting random walks, discrete coll...
