A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. The main idea ...
Let G be an unweighted graph of complexity n cellularly embedded in a surface (orientable or not) of genus g. We describe improved algorithms to compute (the length of) a shortest...
Cardinality estimation is the problem of estimating the number of tuples returned by a query; it is a fundamentally important task in data management, used in query optimization, ...
In the 1990s and early 2000s several papers investigated the relative merits of polynomial-basis and normal-basis computations for F2n . Even for particularly squaring-friendly app...
Transistor tapering is a widely used technique applied to optimize the geometries of CMOS transistors in highperformance circuit design with a view to minimizing the delay of a FE...
