This paper is an enquiry into the interaction between multiple description coding (MDC) and network routing. We are mainly concerned with rate-distortion optimized network flow of...
In the past, Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) have become a standard for solving problems of sequential decision under uncertainty. The usual request in this framework is the compu...
We present a deterministic approximation algorithm to compute logarithm of the number of `good' truth assignments for a random k-satisfiability (k-SAT) formula in polynomial ...
Image convolution is conventionally approximated by the LTI discrete model. It is well recognized that the higher the sampling rate, the better is the approximation. However somet...
The generalized hypertree width GHW(H) of a hypergraph H is a measure of its cyclicity. Classes of conjunctive queries or constraint satisfaction problems whose associated hypergr...
