Given a graph G = (V, E), let P be a partition of V . We say that P is dominating if, for each part P of P, the set V \ P is a dominating set in G (equivalently, if every vertex h...
For a given positive integer k, sr(m, k) denotes the minimal positive integer such that every coloring of [n], n ≥ sr(m, k), that uses each color at most k times, yields a rainb...
This paper investigates a distributed and adaptive approach to manage spectrum usage in dynamic spectrum access networks. While previous works focus on centralized provisioning, w...
An optimal prefetching and I/O scheduling algorithm L-OPT, for parallel I/O systems, using a read-once model of block references is presented. The algorithm uses knowledge of the n...
We introduce a new problem that was motivated by a (more complicated) problem arising in a robotized assembly environment. The bin coloring problem is to pack unit size colored it...
