It has been observed that the degrees of the topologies of several communication networks follow heavy tailed statistics. What is the impact of such heavy tailed statistics on the...
The prediction of collisions amongst N rigid objects may be reduced to a series of computations of the time to first contact for all pairs of objects. Simple enclosing bounds and...
