Having in mind the large-scale analysis of gene regulatory networks, we review a graph decimation algorithm, called "leaf-removal", which can be used to evaluate the feed...
There is a growing body of work on sorting and selection in models other than the unit-cost comparison model. This work treats a natural stochastic variant of the problem where the...
This paper proposes a general probabilistic framework for shape-based modeling and classification of waveform data. A segmental hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to characterize w...
Splay trees are self-organizing binary search trees that were introduced by Sleator and Tarjan [12]. In this paper we present a randomized variant of these trees. The new algorith...
We address the non-redundant random generation of k words of length n from a context-free language. Additionally, we want to avoid a predefined set of words. We study the limits of...
