On the stack-size of general tries

Jérémie Bourdon, Markus Nebel, Brigitte Vallée (2001)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Digital trees or tries are a general purpose flexible data structure that implements dictionaries built on words. The present paper is focussed on the average-case analysis of an important parameter of this tree-structure, i.e., the stack-size. The stack-size of a tree is the memory needed by a storage-optimal preorder traversal. The analysis is carried out under a general model in which words are produced by a source (in the information-theoretic sense) that emits symbols. Under some natural assumptions...

Online LIB problems : heuristics for bin covering and lower bounds for bin packing

Luke Finlay, Prabhu Manyem (2005)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

We consider the NP Hard problems of online Bin Covering and Packing while requiring that larger (or longer, in the one dimensional case) items be placed at the bottom of the bins, below smaller (or shorter) items — we call such a version, the LIB version of problems. Bin sizes can be uniform or variable. We look at computational studies for both the Best Fit and Harmonic Fit algorithms for uniform sized bin covering. The Best Fit heuristic for this version of the problem is introduced here. The...

On-line models and algorithms for max independent set

Bruno Escoffier, Vangelis Th. Paschos (2006)

RAIRO - Operations Research

In on-line computation, the instance of the problem dealt is not entirely known from the beginning of the solution process, but it is revealed step-by-step. In this paper we deal with on-line independent set. On-line models studied until now for this problem suppose that the input graph is initially empty and revealed either vertex-by-vertex, or cluster-by-cluster. Here we present a new on-line model quite different to the ones already studied. It assumes that a superset of the final graph is initially...

Spiridonova, Margarita (2009)

Serdica Journal of Computing

This article presents the principal results of the doctoral thesis “Direct Operational Methods in the Environment of a Computer Algebra System” by Margarita Spiridonova (Institute of mathematics and Informatics, BAS), successfully defended before the Specialised Academic Council for Informatics and Mathematical Modelling on 23 March, 2009.The presented research is related to the operational calculus approach and its representative applications. Operational methods are considered, as well as their...

Optimal Allocation of Renewable Energy Parks: A Two–stage Optimization Model

Carmen Gervet, Mohammad Atef (2013)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Applied research into Renewable Energies raises complex challenges of a technological, economical or political nature. In this paper, we address the techno−economical optimization problem of selecting locations of wind and solar Parks to be built in Egypt, such that the electricity demand is satisfied at minimal costs. Ultimately, our goal is to build a decision support tool that will provide private and governmental investors into renewable energy systems, valuable insights to make informed short...

P-adic root isolation.

Thomas Sturm, Volker Weispfenning (2004)

RACSAM

We present an implemented algorithmic method for counting and isolating all p-adic roots of univariate polynomials f over the rational numbers. The roots of f are uniquely described by p-adic isolating balls, that can be refined to any desired precision; their p-adic distances are also computed precisely. The method is polynomial space in all input data including the prime p. We also investigate the uniformity of the method with respect to the coefficients of f and the primes p. Our method thus...

Parallel algorithm for spatially one-and two-dimensional initial-boundary-value problem for a parabolic equation

Pavol Purcz (2001)

Kybernetika

A generalization of the spatially one-dimensional parallel pipe-line algorithm for solution of the initial-boundary-value problem using explicit difference method to the two-dimensional case is presented. The suggested algorithm has been verified by implementation on a workstation-cluster running under PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine). Theoretical estimates of the speed-up are presented.

Parallel Algorithms for Maximal Cliques in Circle Graphs and Unrestricted Depth Search

E. N. Cáceres, S. W. Song, J. L. Szwarcfiter (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We present parallel algorithms on the BSP/CGM model, with p processors, to count and generate all the maximal cliques of a circle graph with n vertices and m edges. To count the number of all the maximal cliques, without actually generating them, our algorithm requires O(log p) communication rounds with O(nm/p) local computation time. We also present an algorithm to generate the first maximal clique in O(log p) communication rounds with O(nm/p) local computation, and to generate each one of...

Parallel approximation to high multiplicity scheduling problems V I A smooth multi-valued quadratic programming

Maria Serna, Fatos Xhafa (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We consider the parallel approximability of two problems arising from high multiplicity scheduling, namely the unweighted model with variable processing requirements and the weighted model with identical processing requirements. These two problems are known to be modelled by a class of quadratic programs that are efficiently solvable in polynomial time. On the parallel setting, both problems are P-complete and hence cannot be efficiently solved in parallel unless P = NC. To deal with the parallel...
