We show that a resealed constrainedness parameter provides the basis for accurate numerical models of search cost for both backtracking and local search algorithms. In the past, t...

Withthe proliferationof software agents and smart hardware devices there is a growing realization that large-scale problems can be addressed by integration of such standalone syst...
This paper studies constraint satisfaction over connected row-convex (CRC) constraints. It shows that CRC constraints are closed under composition, intersection, and transposition...

Anisotropic diffusion is known to be a powerful tool in image processing. It enables the smoothing of initially noisy images while still retaining, respectively sharpening edges a...
