Abstract Selectivity estimation of a boolean query based on frequent itemsets can be solved by describing the problem by a linear program. However, the number of variables in the e...
Semidefinite Programming (SDP) may be seen as a generalization of Linear Programming (LP). In particular, one may extend interior point algorithms for LP to SDP, but it has proven...
In recent years, the genetic programming crossover operator has been criticized on both theoretical and empirical grounds. This paper introduces a new crossover operator for linea...
