In flow-based mix networks, flow correlation attacks have been proposed earlier and have been shown empirically to seriously degrade mix-based anonymous communication systems. In ...
We analyze the mixing time of a natural local Markov chain (the Glauber dynamics) on configurations of the solid-onsolid model of statistical physics. This model has been proposed...
We study the mixing time of some Markov Chains converging to critical physical models. These models are indexed by a parameter β and there exists some critical value βc where th...
Ensuring building-block (BB) mixing is critical to the success of genetic and evolutionary algorithms. This study develops facetwise models to predict the BB mixing time and the po...
We deal with a two-queue model with mixed exhaustive and gated-type K-limited services. This model can achieve various degrees of priority in each queue by varying the value of K....
