Improved Approximation Algorithms for Weighted k-Set Packing
Neuwohner, Meike (2024-01-16)We study the weighted k-Set Packing problem, which is defined as follows: The input consists of a finite collection S of non-empty sets, each of cardinality at most k, as well as a positive weight for each of the sets. The ... -
Improved area-based deformation analysis of a radio telescope’s main reflector based on terrestrial laser scanning
Holst, Christoph; Nothnagel, Axel; Blome, Martin; Becker, Philip; Eichborn, Malwin; Kuhlmann, Heiner (2015-03-14)The main reflectors of radio telescopes deform due to gravitation when changing their elevation angle. This can be analyzed by scanning the paraboloid surface with a terrestrial laser scanner and by determining focal length ... -
Improved Cardinality Bounds for Rectangle Packing Representations
Silvanus, Jannik (2019-05-29)Axis-aligned rectangle packings can be characterized by the set of spatial relations that hold for pairs of rectangles (west, south, east, north). A representation of a packing consists of one satisfied spatial relation ... -
An improved global gravity field model from the GOCE mission: the time-wise release 6 model
Brockmann, Jan Martin; Schubert, Till; Mayer-Guerr, Torsten; Schuh, Wolf-Dieter (2019)The Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) completed its science mission to observethe Earth’s gravity field in 2013. From the collected observations, gravity gradients and tracking ... -
An improved global gravity field model of the Earth derived from reprocessed GOCE observations with the time-wise approach
Brockmann, Jan Martin; Schubert, Till; Schuh, Wolf-Dieter; Kvas, Andreas; Mayer-Guerr, Torsten (2019)ESA's dedicated gravity field mission GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) successfully completed its science operations in 2013 as the first Earth Explorer mission in orbit.
