A Kneser graph KG(n,k) is a graph whose vertices are in oneto-one correspondence with k -element subsets of [n], with two vertices connected if and only if the corresponding sets do not intersect. A famous result due to Lowisz states that the chromatic num ...
This article explores the effect of device parameter variations on the performance of subthreshold source-coupled logic (STSCL) circuits. A test chip has been fabricated in a standard CMOS 90 nm technology to study the matching properties of STSCL circuits ...
Network alignment refers to the problem of matching the vertex sets of two unlabeled graphs, which can be viewed as a generalization of the classic graph isomorphism problem. Network alignment has applications in several fields, including social network an ...
Let T be a triangulated surface given by the list of vertex-triples of its triangles, called rooms. A room-partitioning for T is a subset R of the rooms such that each vertex of T is in exactly one room in R. Given a room-partitioning R for T, the exchange ...
We present an O(m^10/7) = O(m^1.43)-time algorithm for the maximum s-t flow and the minimum s-t cut problems in directed graphs with unit capacities. This is the first improvement over the sparse-graph case of the long-standing O(m min{m^1/2, n^2/3}) runni ...
The ClearPEM is a dedicated APD-based PET detector for high-resolution breast cancer imaging. The detector module is composed of 12 LYSO:Ce crystal matrices, each with 4 x 8 individual crystals (2 x 2 x 20 mm(3)) optically coupled on both ends to S8550 Ham ...
We show that the binary logarithm of the nonnegative rank of a nonnegative matrix is, up to small constants, equal to the minimum complexity of a randomized communication protocol computing the matrix in expectation. We use this connection to prove new con ...
We consider a set V of elements and an optimization problem on V: the search for a maximum (or minimum) cardinality subset of V verifying a given property a"similar to. A d-transversal is a subset of V which intersects any optimum solution in at least d el ...
Shape registration and, more generally speaking, computing correspondence across shapes are fundamental problems in computer graphics and vision. Problems from this area show up in many diff erent variants such as scan registration, deformable shape matchi ...
We consider the complexity of approximation for the INDEPENDENT DOMINATING SET problem in 2P(3)-free graphs, i.e., graphs that do not contain two disjoint copies of the chordless path on three vertices as all induced subgraph. We show that, if P not equal ...
