We study a natural generalization of the problem of minimizing makespan on unrelated machines in which jobs may be split into parts. The different parts of a job can be (simultaneously) processed on different machines, but each part requires a setup time b ...
We study in this article the representation theory of a family of super algebras, called the super Yang-Mills algebras, by exploiting the Kirillov orbit method à la Dixmier for nilpotent super Lie algebras. These super algebras are an extension of the so-c ...
Generalised Mersenne Numbers (GMNs) were defined by Solinas in 1999 and feature in the NIST (FIPS 186-2) and SECG standards for use in elliptic curve cryptography. Their form is such that modular reduction is extremely efficient, thus making them an attrac ...
We propose a solution to the problem of quickly and accurately predicting gravitational waveforms within any given physical model. The method is relevant for both real-time applications and in more traditional scenarios where the generation of waveforms us ...
Proximity information is a valuable source for social network analysis. Smartphone based sensors, like GPS, Bluetooth and ANT+, can be used to obtain proximity information between individuals within a group. However, in real-life scenarios, different peopl ...
In this paper, the differential geometry of the novel hierarchical Tucker format for tensors is derived. The set HT,k of tensors with fixed tree T and hierarchical rank k is shown to be a smooth quotient manifold, namely the set of orbits of a Lie group ac ...
An analytical formula for the shape derivative of the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) method of moments (MoM) system matrix (or impedance matrix) is derived and validated against finite difference formulas. The motivation for computing the shape de ...

Quality is a fundamental concept closely linked to measuring performance in systems, products and services. Any compression and representation technique in audiovisual signals needs metrics of quality, not only in their design stage but also in demonstrati ...
Gaussian random fields are widely used as building blocks for modeling stochastic processes. This paper is concerned with the efficient representation of d-point correlations for such fields, which in turn enables the representation of more general stochas ...
Waterborne pathogens cause many possibly lethal human diseases. We derive the condition for pathogen invasion and subsequent disease outbreak in a territory with specific, space-inhomogeneous characteristics (hydrological, ecological, demographic, and epid ...
