Genetic algorithms are applied to an important, but little-investigated, network design problem, that of reconfiguring the topology and link capacities of an operational network t...
We describe the most efficient solutions to the word problem of Artin's braid group known so far, i.e., in other words, the most efficient solutions to the braid isotopy probl...
The sensing systems that monitor physical environments rely on communication infrastructures (wired or wireless) to collect data from the sensors embedded in the environment. Howe...
The Coin Problem is the following problem: a coin is given, which lands on head with probability either 1/2 + or 1/2 - . We are given the outcome of n independent tosses of this co...
A constrained Monte Carlo problem arises when one computes an expectation in the presence of a priori computable constraints on the expectations of quantities that are correlated ...
