We consider the problem of counting a set of discrete point targets using a network of sensors under a minimalistic model. Each sensor outputs a single integer, the number of disti...
We address power minimization of earliest deadline first and ratemonotonic schedules by voltage and frequency scaling. We prove that the problems are NP-hard, and present (1+ ) f...
In this paper, we present two techniques to analyze greedy approximation with nonsubmodular functions restricted submodularity and shifted submodularity. As an application of the ...

Bin covering takes as input a list of items with sizes in (0 1) and places them into bins of unit demand so as to maximize the number of bins whose demand is satis ed. This is in ...
Control systems are usually modeled by differential equations describing how physical phenomena can be influenced by certain control parameters or inputs. Although these models ar...
