We compare the expressive power on finite models of two extensions of first order logic L with equality. L(Ct) is formed by adding an operator count{x : ϕ}, which builds a term ...
Abstract. We introduce VSH, very smooth hash, a new S-bit hash function that is provably collision-resistant assuming the hardness of finding nontrivial modular square roots of ver...
In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm due to M...
: New semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities use Front Opening Unified Pods (FOUPs) as a common unit of wafer transfer. Since the number of pods is limited due to high costs, a...
The four-triangles longest-edge (4T-LE) partition of a triangle t is obtained by joining the midpoint of the longest edge of t to the opposite vertex and to the midpoints of the t...
