Abstract. According to the No Free Lunch (NFL) theorems all blackbox algorithms perform equally well when compared over the entire set of optimization problems. An important proble...
We show how any BSP tree TP for the endpoints of a set of n disjoint segments in the plane can be used to obtain a BSP tree of size O(n · depth(TP )) for the segments themselves, ...
This paper presents our implementation techniques for an intelligent Web image search engine. A reference architecture of the system is provided and addressed in this paper. The s...
Abstract. In order to obtain a solution to a constraint satisfaction problem, constructive methods iteratively extend a consistent partial assignment until all problem variables ar...
