The properties of symmetric fitness functions are investigated. We show that a well-known encoding scheme inducing symmetric functions has the non-synonymous property and the sear...
In support vector machines (SVM), the kernel functions which compute dot product in feature space significantly affect the performance of classifiers. Each kernel function is suit...
Textbooks tell us that a birthday attack on a hash function h with range size r requires r1/2 trials (hash computations) to find a collision. But this is quite misleading, being t...
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
Functional simulation is the most widely used method for design verification. At various levels of abstraction, e.g., behavioral, register-transfer level and gate level, the design...
