We study the mixing time of the Glauber dynamics for general spin systems on bounded-degree trees, including the Ising model, the hard-core model (independent sets) and the antife...
Our goal is to build knowledge-based systems capable of answering a wide variety of questions, including questions that are unanticipated when the knowledge base is built. For sys...
Opportunistic activity and context recognition systems do not presume a static sensor infrastructure that is defined at the design time of a system. They also do not have a fixed ...
In this paper, we consider some matrix subgroups of the general linear group and in particular the special linear group that are defined by a quadratic matrix identity. The Lie al...

In this article we investigate a new variant of Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS): Relaxation Guided Variable Neighborhood Search. It is based on the general VNS scheme and a new...
