Let G be a graph embedded in the L1-plane. The stretch factor of G is the maximum over all pairs of distinct vertices p and q of G of the ratio LG 1 (p, q)/L1(p, q), where LG 1 (p...
This is a continuation of our paper "A Theory of Pfaffian Orientations I: Perfect Matchings and Permanents". We present a new combinatorial way to compute the generating...
We observe a certain random process on a graph ”locally”, i.e., in the neighborhood of a node, and would like to derive information about ”global” properties of the graph....
— The research field of partitioning for electronic systems started to attract significant attention of scientists about fifteen years ago. Gaining ever more importance due to...
—Collaborative mechanisms between services are a crucial aspect in the recent development of pervasive computing systems based on the paradigm of service-oriented architecture. C...
