Download or read book Proceedings of the Fourteenth Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms written by and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the January 2003 symposium come just over 100 papers addressing a range of topics related to discrete algorithms. Examples of topics covered include packing Steiner trees, counting inversions in lists, directed scale-free graphs, quantum property testing, and improved results for directed multicut. The papers were not formally refereed, but attempts were made to verify major results. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
