In this work, we consider a distributed source coding problem with a joint distortion criterion depending on the sources and the reconstruction. This includes as a special case the...
In wireless sensor networks, bandwidth is one of precious resources to multimedia applications. To get more bandwidth, multipath routing is one appropriate solution provided that ...
We consider the well known geometric problem of determining shortest paths between pairs of points on a polyhedral surface P, where P consists of triangular faces with positive we...
We develop a two-stage model for versioning products with respect to both vertical and horizontal attributes. At first, a firm positions its top-quality "flagship" produ...
Deeper searches in game-playing programs relying on the minimax principle generally produce better results. Theoretical analyses, however, suggest that in many cases minimaxing am...
