Languages based on the theory of timed automata are a well established approach for modelling and analysing real-time systems, with many applications both in an industrial and academic context. Model checking for timed automata has been studied extensively ...
We present the first polylog-competitive online algorithm for the general multicast admission control and routing problem in the throughput model. The ratio of the number of requests accepted by the optimum offline algorithm to the expected number of reque ...
We propose a novel algorithm for automatic text line extraction on color and grayscale manuscript pages without prior binarization.
Our algorithm is based on seam carving to compute separating seams between text lines.
Seam carving is likely to produce ...
This paper addresses the problem of distributed rate allocation for a class of multicast networks employing linear network coding. The goal is to minimize the cost (for example, the sum rates allocated to each link in the network) while satisfying a multic ...
We consider the problem of designing controllers for nonholonomic mobile robots converging to the source (minimum) of a field. In addition to the mobility constraints posed by the nonholonomic dynamics, we assume that the field is completely unknown to the ...
The level set method is a popular technique for tracking moving interfaces in several disciplines including computer vision and fluid dynamics. However, despite its high flexibility, the original level set method is limited by two important numerical issue ...

In a seminal paper published in 1946, Erd ̋os initiated the investigation of the distribution of distances generated by point sets in metric spaces. In spite of some spectacular par- tial successes and persistent attacks by generations of mathe- maticians, ...
The classic weighted averages (WA) algorithm for the evaluation of Sommerfeld-like integrals is reviewed and reappraised. As a result, a new version of the WA algorithm, called generalized WA, is introduced. The new version can be considered as a generaliz ...

The authors propose a numerical method for the uniformization of Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves in genus two with highly accurate results. Let G be a Fuchsian group acting on the unit disk BbbD, and let S=BbbD/G. It is well known that $S ...
We have developed a new derivative-free algorithm based on Radial Basis Functions (RBFs). Derivative-free optimization is an active field of research and several algorithms have been proposed recently. Problems of this nature in the industrial setting are ...
