This work examines algebraic techniques for comparing quadratic algebraic numbers, thus yielding methods for deciding key predicates in various geometric constructions. Our motiva...
Weighted threshold functions with positive weights are a natural generalization of unweighted threshold functions. These functions are clearly monotone. However, the naive way of ...
We investigate the following question: if a polynomial can be evaluated at rational points by a polynomial-time boolean algorithm, does it have a polynomial-size arithmetic circuit...
—The use of vital signs as a biometric is a potentially viable approach in a variety of application scenarios such as security and personalized health care. In this paper, a nove...
