The development of new technologies for mapping structural and functional brain connectivity has led to the creation of comprehensive network maps of neuronal circuits and systems. The architecture of these brain networks can be examined and analyzed with a large variety of graph theory tools....

Modular decomposition is a thoroughly investigated topic inmany areas such as switching theory, reliability theory, game theory andgraph theory. We propose an O(mn)-algorithm for the recognition of amodular set of a monotone Boolean function f with m prime implicantsand n variables. Using this...

Component commonality - the use of the same version of a component across multiple products - is being increasingly considered as a promising way to offer high external variety while retaining low internal variety in operations. However, increasing commonality has both positive and negative cost...
