Let T be a spanning tree of a graph G and S V (G) be a set of sources. The routing cost of T is the total distance from all sources to all vertices. For an edge e of T, the swap ...
Finding the product of two polynomials is an essential and basic problem in computer algebra. While most previous results have focused on the worst-case complexity, we instead emp...
We present two general methods for proving lower bounds on the query complexity of nonadaptive quantum algorithms. Both methods are based on the adversary method of Ambainis. We sh...
Evolutionary computation techniques are increasingly being applied to problems within Information Retrieval (IR). Genetic programming (GP) has previously been used with some succe...
We consider instances of the maximum independent set problem that are constructed according to the following semirandom model. Let Gn,p be a random graph, and let S be a set consis...
