We consider the following problem Given a simple polygon P possibly with holes and having n vertices compute a pair of equal radius disks that do not intersect each other are contained in P and whose radius is maximized Our main result is a simple randomized algorithm whose expected running time on worst case input is O n log n

This paper presents a hydro dynamic framework to solving the dynamic load balancing problem on a network of heterogeneous computers In this approach each processor is viewed as a liquid cylinder where the cross sectional area corresponds to the capacity of the processor the communication links are modeled as liquid channels between the cylinders the workload is represented as liquid and the loa...
