A Swiss Pocket Knife for Computability [PDF]
This research is about operational- and complexity-oriented aspects of classical foundations of computability theory. The approach is to re-examine some classical theorems and constructions, but with new criteria for success that are natural from a ...

Key Concepts, Weakness and Benchmark on Hash Table Data Structures
Most computer programs or applications need fast data structures. The performance of a data structure is necessarily influenced by the complexity of its common operations; thus, any data-structure that exhibits a theoretical complexity of amortized ...

Minimum-weight triangulation is NP-hard [PDF]
A triangulation of a planar point set S is a maximal plane straight-line graph with vertex set S. In the minimum-weight triangulation (MWT) problem, we are looking for a triangulation of a given point set that minimizes the sum of the edge lengths.

OPT-RNN-DBSVM: OPTimal Recurrent Neural Network and Density-Based Support Vector Machine
When implementing SVMs, two major problems are encountered: (a) the number of local minima of dual-SVM increases exponentially with the number of samples and (b) the computer storage memory required for a regular quadratic programming solver increases ...
