Download or read book Towards Dynamic Randomized Algorithms in Computational Geometry written by Monique Teillaud and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-01-20 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational geometry concerns itself with designing and analyzing algorithms for solving geometric problems. The field has reached a high level of sophistication, and very complicated algorithms have been designed.However, it is also useful to develop more practical algorithms, so long as they are based on rigorous methods. One such method is the use of randomized algorithms. These algorithms have become more and more popular, turning into one of the hottest areas of recent years. Dynamic algorithms are particularly interesting because in practice the data of a problem are often acquired progressively. In this monograph the author studies the theoretical complexity and practical efficiency of randomized dynamic algorithms.
Download or read book Randomized Algorithms written by Rajeev Motwani and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-08-25 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many applications a randomized algorithm is either the simplest algorithm available, or the fastest, or both. This tutorial presents the basic concepts in the design and analysis of randomized algorithms. The first part of the book presents tools from probability theory and probabilistic analysis that are recurrent in algorithmic applications. Algorithmic examples are given to illustrate the use of each tool in a concrete setting. In the second part of the book, each of the seven chapters focuses on one important area of application of randomized algorithms: data structures; geometric algorithms; graph algorithms; number theory; enumeration; parallel algorithms; and on-line algorithms. A comprehensive and representative selection of the algorithms in these areas is also given. This book should prove invaluable as a reference for researchers and professional programmers, as well as for students.

Download or read book Orders Algorithms and Applications written by Vincent Bouchitte and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1994-06-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the proceedings of the first International Workshop on Orders, Algorithms, and Applications, held at Lyon, France in July 1994. Ordered sets and the more specifically algorithmic aspects of order theory are of increasing importance, for example in graph theory. They enjoy a recognized place in computer science as well as in mathematics, due to various new developments in the last few years. The nine technical papers accepted for this volume and the four invited papers presented offer a representative perspective on theoretical and applicational aspects of orders and related algorithms.

This book was released on 1994-07-28 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is devoted to computational morphology, particularly to the construction of a two-dimensional or a three-dimensional closed object boundary through a set of points in arbitrary position. By applying techniques from computational geometry and CAGD, new results are developed in four stages of the construction process: (a) the gamma-neighborhood graph for describing the structure of a set of points; (b) an algorithm for constructing a polygonal or polyhedral boundary (based on (a)); (c) the flintstone scheme as a hierarchy for polygonal and polyhedral approximation and localization; (d) and a Bezier-triangle based scheme for the construction of a smooth piecewise cubic boundary.
