I/O efficient bisimulation partitioning on very large directed acyclic graphs

Jelle Hellings, George H. L. Fletcher, Herman Haverkort

In this paper we introduce the first efficient external-memory algorithm to compute the bisimilarity equivalence classes of a directed acyclic graph (DAG). DAGs are commonly used t…

On the Expected Complexity of Voronoi Diagrams on Terrains

Anne Driemel, Sariel Har-Peled, Benjamin Raichel

We investigate the combinatorial complexity of geodesic Voronoi diagrams on polyhedral terrains using a probabilistic analysis. Aronov etal [ABT08] prove that, if one makes certain…

Memory-Constrained Algorithms for Simple Polygons

Tetsuo Asano, Kevin Buchin, Maike Buchin +4

A constant-workspace algorithm has read-only access to an input array and may use only O(1) additional words of bits, where is the size of the input. We assume that…

Unified framework for a side-by-side comparison of different multicomponent algorithms: lattice Boltzmann vs. phase field model

Luca Scarbolo, Dafne Molin, Prasad Perlekar +3

Lattice Boltzmann Models (LBM) and Phase Field Models (PFM) are two of the most widespread approaches for the numerical study of multicomponent fluid systems. Both methods have bee…

On Problems as Hard as CNFSAT

Marek Cygan, Holger Dell, Daniel Lokshtanov +6

The field of exact exponential time algorithms for NP-hard problems has thrived over the last decade. While exhaustive search remains asymptotically the fastest known algorithm for…

Rejection-free Monte-Carlo sampling for general potentials

E. A. J. F. Peters, G. de With

A Monte Carlo method to sample the classical configurational canonical ensemble is introduced. In contrast to the Metropolis algorithm, where trial moves can be rejected, in this a…

Hydrodynamic interactions in active colloidal crystal microrheology

Rudolf Weeber, Jens Harting

In dense colloids it is commonly assumed that hydrodynamic interactions do not play a role. However, a found theoretical quantification is often missing. We present computer simula…

Breakdown of the large-scale wind in Γ=1/2 rotating Rayleigh-Bénard flow

Richard J. A. M. Stevens, Herman J. H. Clercx, Detlef Lohse

Experiments and simulations of rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection in cylindrical samples have revealed an increase in heat transport with increasing rotation rate. This heat trans…

Spatial modeling of the 3D morphology of hybrid polymer-ZnO solar cells, based on electron tomography data

O. Stenzel, V. Schmidt, H. Hassfeld +7

A spatial stochastic model is developed which describes the 3D nanomorphology of composite materials, being blends of two different (organic and inorganic) solid phases. Such mater…
