Let πw denote the failure function of the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm for a word w. In this paper we study the following problem: given an integer array A [1 . . n], is there a w...
In this paper we analyze a quasi-Monte Carlo method for solving systems of linear algebraic equations. It is well known that the convergence of Monte Carlo methods for numerical in...
FEC mechanisms have been proposed to recover from packet losses, and hence to improve the perceived quality in audio applications. Recently, it has been shown in [1] that the redun...
This paper presents a set of techniques that makes constraint programming a technique of choice for solving small (up to 30 nodes) traveling salesman problems. These techniques in...
We give improved solutions for the problem of generating the k smallest spanning trees in a graph and in the plane. Our algorithm for general graphs takes time O(m log (m, n) + k2...
