Abstract--The ranking problem has become increasingly important in modern applications of statistical methods in automated decision making systems. In particular, we consider a for...
We consider the classical finite-state discounted Markovian decision problem, and we introduce a new policy iteration-like algorithm for finding the optimal state costs or Q-facto...
Subdivision surfaces are generated by repeated approximation or interpolation from initial control meshes. In this paper, two new nonlinear subdivision schemes, face based subdivi...
We present a radically new approach to fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) that dramatically improves performance and bases security on weaker assumptions. A central conceptual con...
In current sensor networks, sensor nodes are capable of not only measuring real world phenomena, but also storing, processing and transferring these measurements. Many data dissem...
