Abstract. Combining classical approximability questions with parameterized complexity, we introduce a theory of parameterized approximability. The main intention of this theory is ...
ms, to use abstraction mappings to prove probabilistic properties, and to apply random walk theory in a distributed computational setting. We apply all of these techniques to analy...
Current biological theory has no commonly accepted view on the phenomenon of aging. On the one hand it is considered as an inescapable degradation immanent to complex biological sy...
