In a M/M/N+M queue, when there are many customers waiting, it may be preferable to reject a new arrival rather than risk that arrival later abandoning without receiving service. O...
The problem of completing a low-rank matrix from a subset of its entries is often encountered in the analysis of incomplete data sets exhibiting an underlying factor model with app...
Finding sparse approximate solutions to large underdetermined linear systems of equations is a common problem in signal/image processing and statistics. Basis pursuit, the least a...
— Many image compression techniques require the quantization of multiple vector sources with significantly different distributions. With vector quantization (VQ), these sources ...
Distributed estimation of an unknown signal is a common task in sensor networks. The scenario usually envisioned consists of several nodes, each making an observation correlated wi...
