A geometric simultaneous embedding of two graphs G1 = (V1, E1) and G2 = (V2, E2) with a bijective mapping of their vertex sets γ : V1 → V2 is a pair of planar straightline drawings Γ1 of G1 and Γ2 of G2, such that each vertex v2 = γ(v1) is mapped in Γ2 to the same point where v1 is mapped in Γ1, where v1 ∈ V1 and v2 ∈ V2. In this paper we examine several constrained versions of the geometric si...

Nowadays, there is a clear trend in industry towards employing the growing amount of transistors on chip in replicating execution cores, where each core is Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT). In order to appropriately connect such a growing number of on-chip execution cores to a shared cache subsystem, some traditional considerations regarding SMT should be re-

We investigate the prescriptive power of sequential iterated admissibility in coordination games of the Gale-Stewart style, i.e., perfectinformation games of infinite duration with only two payoffs. We show that, on this kind of games, the procedure of eliminating weakly dominated strategies is independent of the elimination order and that, under maximal simultaneous elimination, the procedure ...

This article presents SLAM, an Automatic Solver for Lexical Metaphors like “déshabiller* une pomme” (to undress* an apple). SLAM calculates a conventional solution for these productions. To carry on it, SLAM has to intersect the paradigmatic axis of the metaphorical verb “déshabiller*”, where “peler” (“to peel”) comes closer, with a syntagmatic axis that comes from a corpus where “peler une pom...

The simultaneous ascending auction has proved to be a successful method of auctioning many related items. Simultaneous sale and ascending bids promote price discovery, which helps bidders build desirable packages of items. Although package bids are not allowed, the auction format does handle mild complementarities well. I examine the auction design and its performance in practice.

Increasingly school counselors are being called upon to demonstrate that they contribute to students’ academic achievement. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) has led to an intense focus on the use of standardized test scores in measuring academic achievement and on educator accountability for producing measurable achievement gains. NCLB also calls for all educators to use interventions that have been...

We describe a framework for coordinating multiple robots in cooperative manipulation tasks in which vision is used for establishing relative position and orientation and maintaining formation. The two key contributions are a cooperative scheme for localizing the robots based on visual imagery that is more robust than decentralized localization, and a set of control algorithms that allow the rob...

the main purpose of this paper is to consider the t-best simultaneousapproximation in fuzzy normed spaces. we develop the theory of t-bestsimultaneous approximation in quotient spaces. then, we discuss the relationshipin t-proximinality and t-chebyshevity of a given space and its quotientspace.

in this paper, genetic algorithms (gas) are employed to control simultaneous linear systems in both state and output feedback. first, the similarity transformation is applied to obtain parameterized controllers. this requires solution of a system of equations and also some non-linear inequalities. gas are used to solve these equations and inequalities. therefore, the paper presents an analytica...
