On the loopless generation of binary tree sequences
1998
Weight sequences were introduced by Pallo in 1986 for coding binary trees and he presented a constant amortized time algorithm for their generation in lexicographic order. A year later, Roelants van Baronaigien and Ruskey developed a recursive constant amortized time algorithm for generating Gray code for binary trees in Pallo's representation. It is common practice to find a loopless generating algorithm for a combinatorial object when enunciating a Gray code for this object. In this paper we regard weight sequences as variations and apply a Williamson algorithm in order to obtain a loopless generating algorithm for the Roelants van Baronaigien and Ruskey's Gray code for weight sequences.
Analysis of Optimal High Resolution and Fixed Rate Scalar Quantization
2009
In 2001, Hui and Neuhoff proposed a uniform quantizer with overload for the quantization of scalar signals and derived the asymptotically optimal size of the quantization bins in the high-bitrate limit. The purpose of the present paper is to prove a quantitatively more precise version of this result which, at the same time, is valid for a more general, quite natural class of probability distributions that requires only little regularity and includes, for instance, positive Lipschitz-continuous functions of unit integral.
Root-restricted Kleenean rotations
2010
We generalize the Kleene theorem to the case where nonassociative products are used. For this purpose, we apply rotations restricted to the root of binary trees.
On the use of relational expressions in the design of efficient algorithms
2005
Relational expressions have finite binary relations as arguments and the operations are composition (·), closure (*), inverse (−1), and union (U). The efficient computation of the relation denoted by a relational expression is considered, and a tight bound is established on the complexity of the algorithm suggested by Hunt, Szymanski and Ullman. The result implies a unified method for deriving efficient algorithms for many problems in parsing. For example, optimal algorithms are derived for strong LL(1) and strong LL(2) parser construction and an efficient polynomialtime algorithm is derived for determining the inessential error entries in an LR(1) parsing table.
Polyhedral results for a vehicle routing problem
1991
Abstract The Vehicle Routing Problem is a well known, and hard, combinatorial problem, whose polyhedral structure has deserved little attention. In this paper we consider the particular case in which all the demands are equal (since in the general case the associated polytope may be empty). From a known formulation of the problem we obtain the dimension of the corresponding polytope and we study the facetial properties of every inequality in it.
Extensions and intentions in the rough set theory
1998
Abstract The approach to rough set theory proposed in this paper is based on the mutual correspondence of the concepts of extension and intension. It is different from the well-known approaches in the literature in that the upper approximations and the lower approximations of ‘unknown’ sets are considered as certain families of ‘known’ sets. This approach makes it possible to formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of operations on rough sets, which are analogous to classical operations on sets. The basic results presented in this paper, based on certain ideas of the second author, were formulated by the first author in his doctoral dissertation prepared under the su…
The computational complexity of the relative robust shortest path problem with interval data
2004
Abstract The paper deals with the relative robust shortest path problem in a directed arc weighted graph, where arc lengths are specified as intervals containing possible realizations of arc lengths. The complexity status of this problem has been unknown in the literature. We show that the problem is NP -hard.
The computational complexity of the criticality problems in a network with interval activity times
2002
Abstract The paper analyzes the criticality in a network with interval activities duration times. A natural generalization of the criticality notion (for a path, an activity and an event) for the case of network with interval activity duration times is given. The computation complexity of five problems linked to the introduced criticality notion is presented.
The small-world of 'Le Petit Prince': Revisiting the word frequency distribution
2016
[EN] Many complex systems are naturally described through graph theory, and different kinds of systems described as networks present certain important characteristics in common. One of these features is the so-called scale-free distribution for its node s connectivity, which means that the degree distribution for the network s nodes follows a power law. Scale-free networks are usually referred to as small-world because the average distance between their nodes do not scale linearly with the size of the network, but logarithmically. Here we present a mathematical analysis on linguistics: the word frequency effect for different translations of the Le Petit Prince in different languages. Compar…
Best Proximity Point Results in Non-Archimedean Fuzzy Metric Spaces
2013
We consider the problem of finding a best proximity point which achieves the minimum distance between two nonempty sets in a non-Archimedean fuzzy metric space. First we prove the existence and uniqueness of the best proximity point by using di fferent contractive conditions, then we present some examples to support our best proximity point theorems.
