Abstract. This paper investigates the relationship between the dimension theory of partial orders and the problem of scheduling precedenceconstrained jobs on a single machine to mi...
We consider the problem of amplifying uniform average-case hardness of languages in NP, where hardness is with respect to BPP algorithms. We introduce the notion of monotone error...
In a sampling problem, we are given an input x {0, 1} n , and asked to sample approximately from a probability distribution Dx over poly (n)-bit strings. In a search problem, we ...
We observe that the classical maximum flow problem in any directed planar graph G can be reformulated as a parametric shortest path problem in the oriented dual graph G . This ref...
Segmentation of a colour image composed of different kinds of texture regions can be a hard problem, namely to compute for an exact texture fields and a decision of the optimum num...
