Conditional Release: A Less Restrictive Alternative to Hospitalization?

Outpatient surgery--an alternative to hospitalization.

Less Restrictive Constructs for Structured Programs∗

The syntax and formal semantics of new control constructs that resemble Dijkstra’s guarded commands [1] is given. Like programs built using the standard “structured programming” constructs, programs built using these constructs are easily parsed into a hierarchy of components and the meaning of the constructed program is a simple function of the semantics of its components. Program structures t...

Conditional products: An alternative approach to conditional independence

We introduce a new abstract approach to the study of conditional independence, founded on a concept analogous to the factoriza-tion properties of probabilistic independence, rather than the separation properties of a graph. The basic ingredient is the \con-ditional product", which provides a way of combining the objects under consideration while preserving as much independence as possible. We i...

Less Restrictive Synchronization Criteria in Complex Networks with Coupling Delays

This paper considers the synchronization in complex networks with coupling delays, whose topologies could be be symmetric and asymmetric. Differing from most works on the synchronization in complex networks with coupling delays, this paper only uses a positivelydefined function, which is definitely not a Krasovskii-Lyapunov function, to analyze the synchronization criteria. Further, we can deri...

Heuristic Graph Bisection with Less Restrictive Balance Constraints

Fast graph partitioning is an important subproblem in many applications. While the classical problem asks all partitions to be of almost the same size, there are some applications that do not need or even do not want such restrictive constraints. This paper shows how the Helpful-Set heuristic implemented in the graph partitioning library Party can be adopted to the less restrictive case.
