A class of data structures for associative searching
Authors: J. A. Orenstein, T. H. Merrett
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1984)

By interleaving the bits of the binary representations of the attribute values in a tuple, an integer corresponding to the tuple is created. A set of these integers represents a relation. The usual ordering of these integers corresponds to an ordering of multidimensional data that allows the use of conventional file organizations, such as Btrees, in the efficient processing of multidimensional queries (e.g. range queries). The class of data structures generated by this scheme includes a type of kd tree whose balance can be efficiently maintained, a multidimensional Btree which is simpler than previously proposed generalizations, and some previously reported data structures for range searching. All of the data structures in this class also support the efficient implementation of the set operations.

A Primal-Dual Method for Large-Scale Image Reconstruction in Emission Tomography
Authors: Calvin A. Johnson, Ariela Sofer
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

In emission tomography, images can be reconstructed from a set of measured projections using a maximum likelihood (ML) criterion. In this paper, we present a primal-dual algorithm for large-scale three-dimensional image reconstruction. The primal-dual method is specialized to the ML reconstruction problem. The reconstruction problem is extremely large; in several of our data sets the Hessian of the objective function is the product of a 1.4 million by 63 million matrix and its scaled transpose. As such, we consider only approaches that are suitable for large-scale parallel computation. We apply a stabilization technique to the system of equations for computing the primal direction and demonstrate the need for stabilization when approximately solving the system using an early-terminated conjugate gradient iteration.We demonstrate that the primal-dual method for this problem converges faster than the logarithmic barrier method and considerably faster than the expectation maximization algorithm. The use of extrapolation in conjunction with the primal-dual method further reduces the overall computation required to achieve convergence.
Disjunctions of Horn Theories and Their Cores
Authors: Thomas Eiter, Toshihide Ibaraki, Kazuhisa Makino
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

In this paper, we study issues on disjunctions of propositional Horn theories. In particular, we consider the problems of deciding whether a disjunction of Horn theories is Horn, and, if not, computing a Horn core (i.e., a maximal Horn theory included in this disjunction) and the Horn envelope (i.e., the minimum Horn theory including the disjunction), where a Horn core and the Horn envelope are important approximations of the original theory in artificial intelligence. The problems are investigated for two different representations of Horn theories, namely, for Horn conjunctive normal forms (CNFs) and characteristic models. While the problems are shown to be intractable in general, in the case of bounded disjunctions, we present polynomial time algorithms for testing the Horn property in both representations and for computing a Horn core in the CNF representation. Even in the case of bounded disjunction, no polynomial algorithm exists (unless P=NP) for computing a Horn core in the characteristic model representation. Computing the Horn envelope is polynomial in the characteristic model representation, while it is exponential in the CNF representation, even for bounded disjunction.

Visualizing and tracking the growth of competing paradigms: two case studies
Authors: Chaomei Chen, Timothy Cribbin, Robert Macredie, Sonali Morar
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

In this article we demonstrate the use of an integrative approach to visualizing and tracking the development of scientific paradigms. This approach is designed to reveal the long-term process of competing scientific paradigms. We assume that a cluster of highly cited and cocited scientific publications in a cocitation network represents the core of a predominant scientific paradigm. The growth of a paradigm is depicted and animated through the rise of citation rates and the movement of its core cluster towards the center of the cocitation network. We study two cases of competing scientific paradigms in the real world: (1) the causes of mass extinctions, and (2) the connections between mad cow disease and a new variant of a brain disease in humans &mdash; vCJD. Various theoretical and practical issues concerning this approach are discussed.
Interactive analysis and display of tabular data
Authors: William H. Benson, Bernard Kitous
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1977)

A program for simple data analysis and report design is described. The design emphasizes flexibility, ease of use, and rapid interactive response. These considerations are discussed in relation to the choices that may be made in the analysis and display design process. The analysis may be directed and monitored at several points - data selection and calibration, binning, choice of data scaling, choice of graphic variable, and scaling of the graphic variable. Table rows and columns can be re-organized by operators such as ranking, sequencing and grouping, and re-computed from arithmetic combinations of existing rows and columns. Where the raw data represents different cases scored over the same attributes, profile tables can be computed in a systematic fashion. Interactive report design is supported by a variety of page layout and chart annotation directives, which can be used to embellish and adjust the default line, bar and pie charts. The program can be used interactively as well as driven from a prepared script, and uses a device independent graphic system. Although intended to be used primarily with a graphics terminal, at least half the actual use has been conventional report generation on both alphanumeric and graphic terminals.
An interactive system for computer-aided design of printed circuit boards
Authors: J. G. Linders, W. M. Vancleemput
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM annual conference - Volume 1 (1972)

This paper describes an interactive system for the design of printed circuit boards. The system uses an interactive graphics terminal for solving the placement and routing problems. It can be used for designing two-layer boards with integrated circuit modules and discrete components. A substantial portion of the wire-routing is performed automatically and the remaining wires are routed manually in a single interactive session. The system provides significant savings in both design time and processing costs over batch processing and manual methods.
The essence of ideal completion in quantitative form
Authors: Robert C. Flagg, Philipp Slünderhauf
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

If a poset lacks joins of directed subsets, one can pass to its ideal completion. But doing this means also changing the setting: The universal property of ideal completion of posets suggests that it should be regarded as a functor from the category of posets with monotone maps to the category of dcpos with Scott-continuous functions as morphisms. The same applies for the quantitative version of ideal completion suggested in the literature. As in the case of posets, it seems advantageous to consider a different topology with the completed spaces. We introduce topological V-continuity spaces and their Smyth completion and show that this is an adequate setting to consider ideal completion of quantitative domains: Performing the Smyth completion of a V-continuity space regarded as topological V-continuity space gives the ideal completion of the original space together with its Scott topology.

Mesh Partitioning: A Multilevel Balancing and Refinement Algorithm
Authors: C. Walshaw, M. Cross
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

Multilevel algorithms are a successful class of optimization techniques which addresses the mesh partitioning problem. They usually combine a graph contraction algorithm together with a local optimization method which refines the partition at each graph level. In this paper we present an enhancement of the technique which uses imbalance to achieve higher quality partitions. We also present a formulation of the Kernighan--Lin partition optimization algorithm which incorporates load-balancing. The resulting algorithm is tested against a different but related state-of-the-art partitioner and shown to provide improved results.

Sensitivity to Infinitesimal Delays in Neutral Equations
Authors: W. Michiels, K. Engelborghs, D. Roose, D. Dochain
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

The stability of a steady state solution of a neutral functional differential equation can be sensitive to infinitesimal changes in the delays. This phenomenon is caused by the behavior of the essential spectrum and is determined by the roots of an exponential polynomial. Avellar and Hale [J. Math. Anal. Appl., 73 (1980), pp. 434--452] have considered the case of multiple fixed and nonzero delays. In the first part of this paper their results are illustrated by means of spectral plots. In the second part we extend the theory of Avellar and Hale to the limit case whereby some of the delays are brought to zero, which may lead to characteristic roots with arbitrarily large real part. Necessary and sufficient conditions are provided. Using these results we show that the ratio of the delays plays a crucial role when several delays tend to zero simultaneously. As an illustration of the theory, we analyze the robustness of a boundary controlled PDE in the presence of a small feedback delay.
