In this paper, we give the first constant-approximations for a number of layered network design problems. We begin by modeling hierarchical caching, where caches are placed in la...
ABSTRACT. Motivated by economic thought, a recent research agenda has suggested the algorithmic study of combinatorial optimization problems under functions which satisfy the prope...
Block sorting is used in connection with optical character recognition (OCR). Recent work has focused on finding good strategies which perform well in practice. Block sorting is N...

In this paper, an application of feature extraction from music data is first introduced to motivate our research of finding approximate repeating patterns from sequence data. An a...
A general method for near-best approximations to functionals on Rd, using scattered-data information is discussed. The method is actually the moving least-squares method, presented...
