  Using dense storage to solve small sparse linear systems
Morandini M., Mantegazza P. ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software 33(1): 5-es, 2007.  Type: Article

Linear systems of equations are used in many areas of engineering, science, and business. These systems may have thousands, even millions, of equations, but usually only a very small number of unknowns are used in one equation. Solving...

  Asymmetry in k-center variants
Li Gørtz I., Wirth A. Theoretical Computer Science 361(2): 188-199, 2006.  Type: Article

Consider a set of n cities and the distances between each pair of cities. The k-center problem consists of choosing a set of k cities, called centers, so that the sum of distances from each city to the nearest cent...

  Equitable colorings of bounded treewidth graphs
Bodlaender H., Fomin F. Theoretical Computer Science 349(1): 22-30, 2005.  Type: Article

Bodlaender and Fomin prove that an equitable k-coloring can be found in polynomial time on graphs of bounded treewidth. It follows that an l-bounded k-coloring also has a polynomial solution on graphs of bounded tr...

  Finding 3-shredders efficiently
Hegde R. ACM Transactions on Algorithms 2(1): 14-43, 2006.  Type: Article

A k-shredder in an undirected graph is a vertex cut of size k whose removal results in at least three components. The author presents a linear algorithm to find the set of 3-shredders in a 3-connected graph. The algorithm...

   The Turing triage test
Sparrow R. Ethics and Information Technology 6(4): 203-213, 2004.  Type: Article

In the well-known Turing test, a judge exchanges messages through teletype with a man and a computer, and must decide who is who. The point is that the contestants are not visible to the judge and the only way to unravel their identiti...

  Automatic cell placement for quantum-dot cellular automata
Ravichandran R., Lim S., Niemier M. Integration, the VLSI Journal 38(3): 541-548, 2005.  Type: Article

Ravichandran, Lim, and Niemier develop the first cell-level placement of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) circuits to help automate the design process. QCA placement proceeds in three steps: zone partitioning, zone placement, and ce...

   Handbook of exact string matching algorithms
Charras C., Lecroq T., King’s College Publications, 2004. 238 pp.  Type: Book (9780954300647)

String matching has a wide variety of uses, both within computer science and in computer applications from business to science. This book covers string matching in 40 short chapters. After an introductory chapter, each succeeding chapt...

   Reasoning processes in humans and computers: theory and research in psychology and artificial intelligence
Wagman M., Greenwood Publishing Group Inc., Westport, CT, 2003. 320 pp.  Type: Book (9780275975258)

A long description of an experiment concerning conditions to reduce fallacious reasoning begins this book (the didactic correction fared better than self-contradiction). Examples of the difficulty, even inadequacy, of mathematically mo...
