Noncrossing set partitions, nonnesting set partitions, Dyck paths, and rooted plane trees are four classes of Catalan objects which carry a notion of type. There exists a product f...

In this paper we introduce a novel optimization framework for hierarchical data clustering and apply it to the problem of unsupervised texture segmentation. The proposed objective...
We consider a new simulation-based optimization method called the Nested Partitions (NP) method. This method generates a Markov chain and solving the optimization problem is equiv...
In this paper, we discuss issues involving temporal data fragmentation, temporal query processing, and query optimization in multiprocessor database machines. We propose parallel ...
