Abstract

We present two new algorithms for range-efficient F 0 estimating problem and improve the previously best known result, proposed by Pavan and Tirthapura in [15]. Furthermore, these algorithms presented in our paper also improve the previously best known result for Max-Dominance Norm Problem.

The work described in this paper was fully supported by a grant from CityU (SRG 7001969).
