The Vehicle Routing Problem with Soft Time Windows consists in computing a minimum cost set of routes for a fleet of vehicles of limited capacity that must visit a given set of customers with known demand, with the additional feature that each customer exp ...
Many problems in distributed computing are impossible to solve when no information about process failures is available. It is common to ask what information about failures is necessary and sufficient to circumvent some specific impossibility, e. g., consen ...
For a centralized encoder and decoder, a channel matrix is simply a set of linear equations that can be transformed into parallel channels. We develop a similar approach to multiuser networks: we view interference as creating linear equations of codewords ...

In the recent years, researchers have investigated several methods of facial expression analysis. Their interest has been to apply their algorithms to sets of images labelled by a restrained number of experts. In order to deal with the generalizability of ...
We consider source coding over Aref networks. In particular we consider the following two problems: (i) multicasting correlated sources to a set of receivers, (ii) broadcasting sources to their respective receivers. For the first problem we show necessary ...
This paper provides new results on computing simultaneous sparse approximations of multichannel signals over redundant dictionaries using two greedy algorithms. The first one, p-thresholding, selects the S atoms that have the largest p-correlation while ...
In this paper, we introduce the notion of a constrained Minkowski sumwhich for two (finite) point-sets P,Q R2 and a set of k inequalities Ax b is defined as the point-set (P Q)Ax b= x = p+q | P, q Q, Ax b. We show that typical subsequ ...
We consider the following problem: Given a commitment to a value σ, prove in zero-knowledge that σ belongs to some discrete set Φ. The set Φ can perhaps be a list of cities or clubs; often Φ can be a numerical range such as [1, 220]. This problem arises in ...
Fluorescence microscopy is widely used to determine the subcellular location of proteins. Efforts to determine location on a proteome-wide basis create a need for automated methods to analyze the resulting images. Over the past ten years, the feasibility o ...
A new property of B-p(G), permits to obtain an approximation theorem for p-convolution operators and a non-commutative version of the Lohoues monomorphism theorem concerning the norm closure of the set of all p-convolution operators with compact support. ( ...
