Vertex Separators for Partitioning a Graph

Vertex Separators for Partitioning a Graph

Finite Element Method (FEM) is a well known technique extensively studiedfor spatial and temporal modeling of environmental processes, weather predictioncomputations, and intelligent signal processing for wireless sensors. The need for hugecomputational power arising in such applications to simulate...
