This paper designs and evaluates a variant of CoSaMP algorithm, for recovering the sparse signal s from the compressive measurement v = A(Uw+s) given a fixed low-rank subspace spanned by U. Instead of firstly recovering the full vector then separ...

Solving Matrix Equations on Multi-Core and Many-Core Architectures

  • Peter Benner,
  • Pablo Ezzatti,
  • Hermann Mena,
  • Enrique S. Quintana-Ortí and
  • Alfredo Remón

25 November 2013

We address the numerical solution of Lyapunov, algebraic and differential Riccati equations, via the matrix sign function, on platforms equipped with general-purpose multicore processors and, optionally, one or more graphics processing units (GPUs)....

A key property of overlay networks is the overlay nodes’ ability to establish connections (or be matched) to other nodes by preference, based on some suitability metric related to, e.g., the node’s distance, interests, recommendations, transaction hi...

Stability, Optimality and Manipulation in Matching Problems with Weighted Preferences

  • Maria Silvia Pini,
  • Francesca Rossi,
  • K. Brent Venable and
  • Toby Walsh

18 November 2013

The stable matching problem (also known as the stable marriage problem) is a well-known problem of matching men to women, so that no man and woman, who are not married to each other, both prefer each other. Such a problem has a wide variety of practi...

PMS6MC: A Multicore Algorithm for Motif Discovery

  • Shibdas Bandyopadhyay,
  • Sartaj Sahni and
  • Sanguthevar Rajasekaran

18 November 2013

We develop an efficient multicore algorithm, PMS6MC, for the (l; d)-motif discovery problem in which we are to find all strings of length l that appear in every string of a given set of strings with at most d mismatches. PMS6MC is based on PMS6, whic...

The aim of this research is to present a detailed step-by-step method for classification of very high resolution urban satellite images (VHRSI) into specific classes such as road, building, vegetation, etc., using fuzzy logic. In this study, object-b...

An Efficient Local Search for the Feedback Vertex Set Problem

  • Zhiqiang Zhang,
  • Ansheng Ye,
  • Xiaoqing Zhou and
  • Zehui Shao

1 November 2013

Inspired by many deadlock detection applications, the feedback vertex set is defined as a set of vertices in an undirected graph, whose removal would result in a graph without cycle. The Feedback Vertex Set Problem, known to be NP-complete, is to sea...

Multi-Core Parallel Gradual Pattern Mining Based on Multi-Precision Fuzzy Orderings

  • Nicolas Sicard,
  • Yogi Satrya Aryadinata,
  • Federico Del Razo Lopez,
  • Anne Laurent and
  • Perfecto Malaquias Quintero Flores

1 November 2013

Gradual patterns aim at describing co-variations of data such as the higher the size, the higher the weight. In recent years, such patterns have been studied more and more from the data mining point of view. The extraction of such patterns relies on...

Pattern-Guided k-Anonymity

  • Robert Bredereck,
  • André Nichterlein and
  • Rolf Niedermeier

17 October 2013

We suggest a user-oriented approach to combinatorial data anonymization. A data matrix is called k-anonymous if every row appears at least k times—the goal of the NP-hard k-ANONYMITY problem then is to make a given matrix k-anonymous by suppressing (...

In this paper, a natural probabilistic model for motif discovery has been used to experimentally test the quality of motif discovery programs. In this model, there are k background sequences, and each character in a background sequence is a random ch...

  • Toby Walsh

3 October 2013

The stable marriage (SM) problem has a wide variety of practical applications, ranging from matching resident doctors to hospitals, to matching students to schools or, more generally, to any two-sided market. In the classical formulation, n men and n...

We present a threaded parallel adaptation of a state-of-the-art maximum clique algorithm for dense, computationally challenging graphs. We show that near-linear speedups are achievable in practice and that superlinear speedups are common. We include...
