Convex Programming Upper Bounds on the Capacity of 2-D Constraints
—The capacity of 1-D constraints is given by the entropy of a corresponding stationary maxentropic Markov chain. Namely, the entropy is maximized over a set of probability distri...

Stability of Distributed Algorithms in the Face of Incessant Faults
Abstract. For large distributed systems built from inexpensive components, one expects to see incessant failures. This paper proposes two models for such faults and analyzes two we...

Bounds for Functions of Dependent Risks
Abstract The problem of finding the best-possible lower bound on the distribution of a non-decreasing function of n dependent risks is solved when n = 2 and a lower bound on the co...
