Consider a distributed network of n nodes that is connected to a global source of “beats”. All nodes receive the “beats” simultaneously, and operate in lock-step. A scheme ...
—We develop diverse routing schemes for dealing with multiple, possibly correlated, failures. While disjoint path protection can effectively deal with isolated single link failur...
Given linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) L1 and L2 in the same number of variables it is natural to ask: (Q1) does one dominate the other, that is, does L1(X) 0 imply L2(X) 0? (Q2) ...
We investigate methods for planning in a Markov Decision Process where the cost function is chosen by an adversary after we fix our policy. As a running example, we consider a rob...
