Abstract--Two types of noise-free relay cascades are investigated. Networks where a source communicates with a distant receiver via a cascade of half-duplex constrained relays, and...
The adaptive estimation of a time-varying parameter vector in a linear Gaussian model is considered where we a priori know that the parameter vector belongs to a known arbitrary s...
Privacy considerations often constrain data mining projects. This paper addresses the problem of association rule mining where transactions are distributed across sources. Each si...
In this paper we address the problem of optimizing mixed CMOS BiCMOS circuits. The problem is formulated as a constrained combinatorial optimization problem and solved using an ta...
Inference problems in graphical models can be represented as a constrained optimization of a free energy function. It is known that when the Bethe free energy is used, the fixedpo...
