A conjecture by D. Seese states that if a set of graphs has a decidable monadic second-order theory, then it is the image of a set of trees under a transformation defined by monad...
Surveys and opinion polls are extremely popular in the media, especially in the months preceding a general election. However, the available tools for analyzing poll results often r...
Data reduction plays an important role in machine learning and pattern recognition with a high-dimensional data. In real-world applications data usually exists with hybrid formats...
This paper deals with generalized pattern search (GPS) algorithms for linearly constrained optimization. At each iteration, the GPS algorithm generates a set of directions that con...
We introduce a concept of so-called disjoint ordering for any collection of finite sets. It can be viewed as a generalization of a system of distinctive representatives for the s...
